Clarence Michael, the 2008 auction chairman, notes that if you use this sign at an auction it means you have purchased an item.

It’s that time of year again.

Tonight kicks off the 62nd Annual Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction. Be sure to check out Family Night this evening where children can take part in a pottery activity by Skip Sensbach, crafts, art lessons and face painting. Hot dogs will only be 25 cents. Special play stations for children will also be set up throughout the library for the entire auction. Adult educators will be on hand to stimulate the children.

I don’t really appreciate antiques, but I am a reader. In past years, I have found great books at cheap prices in the book tent. I remember buying my sister a college survival guide for 50 cents. My friend Brian found a book one year on how Walmart is ruining America. I don’t remember if he actually purchased it, but he was really into it.

All of the books have been moved inside of the library this year, so make sure to head indoors and browse through them. I’ll be searching for useful cookbooks.

It’s also fun to look at the items in the flea market. I never gave flea markets much thought until I recently purchased items from one at the Meadows. You never know what you might find.

And how can I forget about the food? Pierogies, one of my favorite foods, are new this year at the Dallas Rotary food booth. It’s also hard for me to resist ice cream from Hillside Farms. Yum!

We’re supposed to have nice weather until Sunday, so there’s no excuse not to stop by and benefit the library while catching up with friends and neighbors.

See you there!
