Participating in Rosewood Rodeo’s Silent Auction is like celebrating Christmas in October. Here’s how: Come by Rosewood Rodeo Oct. 4, set a competitive price on cool auction items, then get notified for your winning bids. It’s a fun opportunity to purchase quality items at under-market-value prices.

The auction is part of the 21st 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 2:45 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 $10 to more than $400. 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. A DeWalt Impact Driver Kit has an opening bid of $30; a Browning Rechargeable Spotlight opens with a bid of $26; and a Halo Essential Griddle Kit has an opening bid of $20.

Also included for bidding are multiple gift baskets, and many wonderful gift cards, certificates and passes. For a preview, bidders can access photos of the auction items at https://flickr.com/photos/rosewood_services/albums/72177720329353665

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.
