I've Got My List
June 13, 2016
Today marks 25 days left until the 20th Annual Corndog Kickoff Benefit Auction and Fair Food Grazing Party! Everyone here at the Blue Ribbon Foundation has been busy working on different aspects of the event to make it all come together. I have been busy over the last week organizing the auction items into packages. Along with that, I have been busy figuring out which items and donations we have to pick up. In about an hour I will leave to pick up a few donated items including a donation from the Des Moines Symphony. The Symphony has donated six tickets to any Masterworks Series in the 2016-2017 season and some great souvenirs, in the silent auction package, A Symphony Season.
Being surrounded by over 200 silent auction and 30 live auction packages for the last few days has been quite interesting. My desk has never seemed smaller and I have gone through about 500 paper clips to keep everything organized. With all of this, I have been able to scope out some of my favorite auction packages. I have invited my father to attend and bid on a few silent auction packages that I think our family needs. Some of them include the Beer Couch VIP, High Trestle Trail, Ducks on the Pond and Fore the Night. These are just some of the great auction packages you can expect some competition on at the Corndog Kickoff.
Make sure to check our Auction page for updates on both our Live and Silent auction packages. The auction book will be finalized and sent out in the next few weeks, soon enough your list will match mine. If you have any questions or comments on the Corndog Kickoff, or any of our many great programs, please use our contact form. Thank you and see all of you in less than a month!
