See You Next Year!

The Zanesville Pumpkin Auction is a wrap for this year. Thanks so much to everyone who participated. We appreciate everyone who came out to buy pumpkins, all of the businesses that graciously donated to our silent auction, and every volunteer who helped bring this event to life.

Our primary goal for this year was to positively impact the community. We believe we accomplished that goal. Thank you!

We also raised over $1,000 for our campus building restoration project.

We especially want to thank the following businesses for their donations:

Chapman’s Coffee House (New Concord, Ohio)
The Color Pallet Salon (Zanesville, Ohio)
Curly Girl Farm (Zanesville, Ohio)
Fall Chiropractic (Cambridge, Ohio)

PV’s Pumpkin Patch (Frazeysburg, Ohio)

We also want to thank the law office of Gottlieb, Johnston, Beam, and Dal Ponte for graciously allowing us to use their parking lot. And thank you to Prater’s Highway Market for helping us to fill in our inventory.

We look forward to seeing you at the second annual Zanesville Pumpkin Auction on Saturday, October 2, 2021!

This super-cute goose-shaped gourd centerpiece is surrounded by a variety of colorful tiny gourds, nestled on a bed of straw and arranged in a sturdy ceramic dish. The potted mum is quite full and just beginning its bloom season.

Pappy’s Plants is a family-owned greenhouse currently offering mums, pumpkins, and cornstalk bundles, as well as succulents and other plants earlier in the growing season. Learn more at their Facebook page.

The Highest & Best Auction

What’s a Highest & Best auction? Why haven’t you heard of it before?

Because we just made it up!

In order to respect the government’s mandates during COVID, we’ve invented our own silent auction.

Here’s how it works: you get one bid per item. Only ONE! So you better make it count.

Write down your best offer for the item you’d like. Your top dollar. If you only want to pay $1, bid $1—you never know. Drop your bid in the box, and then you can go home. At the end of the day, the highest bid wins!

  1. You put in your highest and best possible bid for the item you want. Then you leave.
  2. If your bid is the highest, you win! We’ll call you.

If you’ve placed the highest bid, we’ll call you to arrange payment and pickup of the item. You must return our call within 48 hours or we’ll have to move on to the next bid.

In the event that there’s a tie, we’ll choose the winner randomly from among the highest bids. (Pro tip: to avoid a tie, bid an amount you think no one else will bid!)

We’ll have great items from restaurants, hair salons, and much more! Get ready to place your Highest & Best bid!

Who knows? Maybe in the future everyone will do this and they’ll call it a “Muskingum County Auction.”

P.S. You can also place your bid online. Stay tuned for details.
