dinners for 8 and 12, and art lessons with Laurie Marshall.

Two of the most unusual items up for auction are: an 800 million year old calcite crystal formation donated by geologist Ross Dalton, whose son Timothy attends Spring iCtountain; and a pony cart ride through the Rappahannock Countryside with veterinarian Cathy Kreyling.

A new feature this year is the additHSn of “Lots,” or boxed groupings of country collectibles, books, toys, gifts, household items, and “pot luck.” Many of the Lots contain attractive items from local shops, making this ah appealing way to stock up on gifts.

Known for its unusual and incredible bargains from $5 on up. The auction is the school’s major fund-raiser each year. “We encourage everyone to come out, get a bargain, and support the school,” says auction chairperson Sally Walker. “We are extremely grateful to the surrounding community for its generosity in helping the auction make such first rate items available. The best part is that the auction itself reflects the wonderful character of Rappahannock."

Everyone is invited to preview auction items, and if they cannot attend the actual auction, leave sealed bids, if they wish, at the Washington Fire Hall. Auctioneer Bill Payne will begin selling at 5 p.m. in order to accommodate Ki Theater-goers that night. Refreshments and finger food will be available. Anyone interested in getting a complete Auction List ahead of time may contact the school office from 8:30 a m. until noon weekdays.
