To the editor:
The 43rd annual Brown County Children’s Auction will be held as an online Facebook auction this year because of the pandemic.
The auction will feature donated art, crafts, antiques, gift certificates and donated items from local shop owners.
We are not able to go door-to-door this year collecting donations, and therefore are asking local merchants to please drop off your donations to Out of the Ordinary.
We need your donated items by Nov. 11.
Cash donations can be made at PNC Bank or People’s State Bank.
If you would like your donations picked up, or if you have questions, please call 812-320-2601.
Through the years, with your help, our auction has provided over $640,000 in clothing to Brown County children in need.
The auction will be held starting Nov. 18 through Dec. 2, and pick-up of items will be on Dec. 5.
To bid, please go online to our Facebook page, Brown County Children’s Auction, and follow the instructions.
We appreciate your generous support through the years and hope that you will help us ensure that all children in Brown County have a Merry Christmas in 2020.
Carol Birkemeier, secretary, Brown County Children’s Fund Inc.
