Woof! Woof!
This is it! The 7th
Annual Wags N’ Whiskers Bone-a-Fit Auction Website. The Humane Society of Elmore County (HSEC) hosts this Silent/Live Auction the last Friday night in July each year
to raise funds to support the needs of the animals in our care.
HSEC supports each municipality in Elmore County; each municipality provides a fraction of the funds necessary to operate the Shelter facilities. Dedicated Board members, volunteers and organizations host
fundraising events to help the HSEC operate successfully.
Auction categories are on the left. By clicking the category, you'll get to see pictures and descriptions of items in the auction. We will continually update the categories as auction items are available
to post. Come back often to see when auction items have been added (date indicates last update). The selection varies widely because the donors that love big dogs, or little dogs, or short-haired cats or
long-haired kittens have excitingly varied tastes.
When/Where/Doors Open: The Auction will be held at the Wetumpka Civic Center on Friday, July 27, 2012. The doors open at 6:00; bidding starts at 6:30. We
encourage you to purchase admission tickets in advance. Tickets may be purchased at the Shelter or at the door the evening of the event. Cost: $15/person and $25/couple.
Also, this year, an organization or individual may purchase a reserved table (limited to four tables) at the auction to further support Shelter efforts. This $300 purchase provides a reserved
table that seats eight (eight tickets for you and your guests are provided) to assure you have seating between bidding in both the silent and live auction portions of the evening.
The Auction: There will be items on tables to bid on; you’ll have to keep checking as someone else may want the same item and out-bid you! Then… you
return to out-bid them! There will be live auction segments where
items are auctioned to the highest bidder on the spot! At the close of all bidding,"Live Auction Winners will go to the stage area to secure payment finalization, then proceed through check-out. At the close of all bidding, Silent
Auction Bidders will check the items they have been bidding on at the tables, if their bid is the highest/last bid, they take the auction sheet(s) to payment tables (cash/checks and debit/credit card, secure a receipt for payment,
pick-up their items and take their new priceless treasures home.
Some of you may want to help the Silent Auction by donating a treasure
to share with others. If you'd fill out this
form and take it to
the Humane Society, we'll get your item listed and ready for the
auction! Thank you!
Best of luck to all who support the Shelter at the 2012 Wags ‘N Whiskers Bone-a-Fit Auction!
