The silent and children's art auctions offer many individual items  and services donated by area merchants.  This year's auction will include a weeklong North Carolina mountain retreat, a beach vacation to Mexico Beach, story time with Santa, kid's all inclusive birthday packages, holiday spruce up package, Costa del Mar sunglasses, a kid's kayac and much more. 

The children's art auction will include a mosaic bistro table set, Christmas yard art, and a variety of hand-made art and photography.  The general store has been expanded to include many handmade arts and crafts along with homemade goodies.

The public is invited to come and enjoy an evening of family games and entertainment, fill up on smoked barbecue, pizza and hot dogs, with popcorn, cotton candy and hot chocolate for dessert.

New games have been added to include tricycle races, inflatable boxing, human bowling game, cash machine, and of course, a giant inflatable slide and obstacle course.  The traditional bingo, go fish, duck pond, milk bottle, and radar games will be on hand also.  

Each game will offer the opportunity for participants to win a ticket  to win big prizes for kids.   Each time a child wins a ticket, they drop it in the bowl of the prize they want to win in the children's silent auction.  This is always a favorite for the kids!

Stop by the General Store to stock up on homemade cake, pies, & casseroles.  Also featured are hairbows & handcrafted necklaces, toys, and Christmas bows.  There's sure to be something for everyone!

Admission is free and game tickets can be purchased at the gate or from the school office beginning Dec. 1.
