If you are interested in a fun opportunity to purchase quality items at under-market-value prices, then come by Rosewood Rodeo, Saturday, Oct. 3.

The auction is part of the 22nd Annual Rodeo, held at Barton County Fair Expo III Indoor Arena, two miles west on 10th and Patton Road, Great Bend. In conjunction with the rodeo’s grand entry, the Rosewood Silent Auction will begin at 10 a.m. Then bids will be accepted throughout the day until the auction closes at 2 p.m. Winning bidders will be contacted following the silent auction, so they don’t have to be present to win.

During the auction, there are more than 70 items to bid on, ranging in retail value from approximately $25 to nearly $500. These items are all new products and most likely will sell for well under their retail value. Auction items include a wide variety of merchandise like a 32-inch LG Smart TV with a starting bid of $100; and a King Kooker Outdoor Fryer that has an opening bid of $23.

Also included for bidding are multiple gift baskets, some valued at more than $100 with opening bids of $25. Many wonderful gift cards, certificates and passes are available that are most often purchased for under their face value. Unique items made by local artists and crafters are also available among the many auction items.

All the auction items were donated by community businesses and individuals as a fundraiser to Rosewood Roots & Wings Foundation. Rosewood’s non-profit Roots & Wings Foundation provides unmet medical and therapeutic needs, legal assistance, along with educational opportunities to people who have developmental disabilities.
