This year, there will be no alumni game, no children’s area and no food tent. “ We downsized the amount of food we are serving. We will have a coffee area that will serve specialty coffees, cold drinks and our famous apple dumplings. They are made at the school on the Wednesday before (the auction) by parent volunteers,� said Parris.
The live auction will feature a selection of items, experiences, artwork, quilts and homemade jams and yogurt. Auction highlights will include a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta, a John Deere tractor, 150 gallons of heating oil and two-night stays at local inns, including Brownstone Colonial Inn Bed and Breakfast and Laurel Springs Guest House.
