That’s right, go to https://auctria.events/TheFrolic and you can start looking at all our raffle items, silent auctions and live auctions today. Just click on the appropriate label at the top of the page to see them.

Bidding online for the silent auction is OPEN but it ends Saturday August 16 at midnight… but for any items not bought with the Buy It Now option the bidding will continue at the event.

Buy It Now is at the bottom of each silent auction item and allows you to make certain you get what you want. If you choose Buy It Now, the item is out of the bidding wars and yours.
