VCPA 20th Anniversary Celebration, October 25, 2015

Silent Auction Items

Something for Everyone! 

Silent bidding continues at Vandalia on Sunday, October 25, and auction winners will be announced that evening during the VCPA 20th Anniversary Celebration Soup Supper and Gospel Concert. Bidding and eating starts at 4:00 p.m. in the School House, followed by an enjoyable Lloyd Wood (and some Wood Pickers) concert in the Chapel around 5:00 - 5:15 p.m. Bidding ends when church bell rings and music begins. To support the preservation of these two significant Owen County historical buildings, come on out to Vandalia this Sunday and join us for an entertaining evening and socializing over delicious home-made chili, winter vegetable soup, and desserts!

Thank you, Owen County Heritage & Culture Center, for generously providing display space in the coffee shop during the past few days and, early bidders, for getting the auction off to a good start!
