According to auction chairperson Stella Richards, “it’s the place to be — it’s in the stars.” Ms. Richards, who is also an astrologer, cites the unusual planetary occurrence called a “Grand Trine” which favorably influences the fiery action of the live bidding which will begin at 3 p.m. and continue until approximately 4:30.

Offered for the live bidding auction is a bounty of useful, pleasurable, and desirable delights such as antique furniture donated by Rush River Gallery, a Peter Kramer mirror, dining at Four and Twenty Blackbirds and Fiddler's Green, Great Meadow season Polo tickets, a truckload of manure or hay, tennis lessons with Hunt Harris, a session at Rappahannock Chiropractic Services, an astrological reading, organic beef roasts from Jordan River Farm, organic produce from Goat Hill Farm, an original handmade art dress by Julie Coon and Kim Doyle, a case of Welsh ale from Mountainside Market, aerobics classes with Beth Levick, massages with Kathleen Maier and Sherry Tweed, tree pruning from Trees Works, a children’s vitamin basket from The Natural Marketplace, designer fabrics, tools, vacation getaway, a wooden walking stick, and original art work by Jeff MacNelly, Robin Purnell, Jeanne
