The Locavore Gala Silent and Live Auction

 

We are known for our local-focused, sustainably-minded, beautifully curated, eye-popping silent auction. No run of the mill stuff here. We are run by local people, for local people, and our Central Oregon community is ever generous with their donations to our silent auction. Please refrain from drooling too much (but a little is OK.)

 

Here's a taste of what you might see at the Gala. We will be adding items right up until the Gala night, and leave a few surprises for you...

 

You will be assigned a bid number upon arrival.

 

*We highly recommend you leave a card on file at this time to facilitate quick check in. All information is safely encrypted and securely stored.

 

Happy Bidding!
