If the great items in the auction are not enough to convince you to come to the auction. How about the list for the Bake Sale:

The list from RapidSixGuns on the PVAS.com forum:

1. Hotdog Combo (served with a bag of chips, cookies, and a beverage) - $4.00
add an extra hotdog to your combo for $1 (simply asks us to "fill'er up"...we'll know what you mean)
Hotdogs served individually $2.00 (this is the perfect boost to get you over the hump)
2. Muffins to make that morning java taste that much better
3. Homebaked Cookies (oatmeal and chocolate chip) gently prepared to warm your heart
4. Yellow Cake with Chocolate icing (soft, moist, and melt in your mouth)
5. Carrot Cake with Creme Cheese icing (pure decadence here)
6. Brownies that'll satisfy any sweet tooth (not sure if nuts will be used as topping)
7. Strawberry Shortcake made on the spot (you don't want to miss these)
8. Pistacio Pudding Pie slices served on a graham cracker crust, topped with marshmello whip, and garnished with a fresh strawberry (this is a must have)
9. Banana Cream Pudding Pie slices served on a graham cracker crust, topped with marshmello whip, and garnished with fresh banana's (this will bring tears to your eyes)
10. Lemon Pound Cake slices cut so thick you'll need a fork to eat it
11. Donuts Donuts Donuts (a donut lovers dream come true)
12. Canoli Pastries (better come early as these will be in limited supply)
13. Bagals with Creme Cheese (you won't go wrong here)
14. Peach Cobbler (this is as close to Heaven a person can get without actually dying)
15. Pineapple Upside Down Cake (warning, eating this may cause a permanent smile)
16. Spice Cake w/o icing (why ruin perfection with icing?)
17. Ice cold Beverages to include Sodas, Bottled Water, Milk

Whereas I live to far away to attend this one- and have only been to one auction- a small one in Charlotte... I will have to say to anyone who is on the fence about whether to go or not- I value my experience at the one auction I've been to- absolutely loved it (more than I thought) - and can't wait for one to happen in driving distance again... unfortunately- they never have fish auctions in the Carolinas anymore- I think the closest is Atlanta and I found out about that one AFTER it happened! :(



Anyhow- enough of my prattle... if in doubt... GO! Trust me- I'm sure it will be a blast.
