CHAMBER AUCTION AUG. 20

A five-day vacation package to Las Vegas will be among the goods and services offered Aug. 20 at the annual fund-raising auction for Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce at New River Community College.

A pit-cooked beef and pork barbecue buffet will be served from 5 to 7 p.m., and a silent auction will run at the same time. The live auction will start at 7:30 p.m.

Mini-vacations, including beach trips, golf packages and professional sporting events, also will be auctioned.

Services to be offered include dental exams, eye exams, financial and legal consultations contributed by local businessmen and professionals. Area restaurants donated gift certificates and prepared foods.

One-of-a-kind collector's plates, including one of Elvis Presley, will be among the items offered along with tools and toys, furniture and jewelry, small pocket items and truckload bargains.

Tickets for the evening, including the meal, are $10 (or $15 for couples). They are available at the chamber office in the Pulaski Municipal Building or from chamber board members.
