NEW!! SILENT AUCTION NEW!!

This year Patio Planters is hosting both an online/silent auction for se-

lect items, in addition to our traditional live auction. This was done to

allow those who are unable to join us today an opportunity to bid on

some of the exciting travel packages and high-end items.

The online auction closed this morning at 8am and has transi-

tioned to a silent auction.

Silent auction bidding begins at 10am and closes at 1:30pm.

Silent auction items available for bid may be viewed at the auction

stage.

Bid Sheets are provided with each item.

To place a bid, please CLEARLY PRINT your full name, phone number

and email address when bidding. Only legible bids will be accepted.

Proxy online bids for the silent auction will be administered by the Pa-

tio Planters auction staff. All online winners be notified within 24

hours.

Payment can be made via cash or credit card (Master Card, Visa, Dis-cover or American Express). Silent auction winners may pick up their item at the cashier starting at 1:45 PM.

Tie-Breakers: There is a chance that a tie can occur between the online

proxy bids that are administered by our volunteers and the in-person

silent bids today. Should a tie occur at the conclusion of the silent auc-

tion (1:30pm), the online proxy bid will be considered the winner since

he/she was the first person to place the winning bid amount.

The live auction (with auctioneer) will feature completely separate and

exciting items and packages including art, jewelry, tours and experienc-

es, custom holiday decor, gift certificates from restaurants, spas, salons

and more.

The live auction will start at NOON.

Jackson Square is illumi-nated by hundreds of candles held by singers crooning Holiday favorites that everyone is familiar with. The event is free and open to all who wish to partici-pate, regardless of religious affiliation. The gates to Jackson Square open at 6:30 p.m. Caroling begins at 7:00 p.m. Candles and song sheets are provided courtesy of Patio Planters.
