The 30th Annual TRAC
Benefit Auction takes place on Sunday, August 12, 2007.
Items in glass, wood, fiber, clay, fabric, paper, and
metals are but a few of the works donated by local artists
and craftspeople that will be auctioned by expert
auctioneer David Little.
Over 100 lots of art are included in the live auction and
close to 100 in the Silent Auction, which includes arts
and crafts, services and items donated by local businesses
and individuals.
Auction items are on display in the TRAC Center Gallery in
downtown Spruce Pine, now through August 12, which is open
Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 to 5 pm (and until 8 pm
on August 11). This provides guests the opportunity to
pre-register for the auction, start placing bids on
auction items, and view the artwork that will be in the
live auction. |

(Admission is $10). Guests continue to bid in the Silent
Auction (which closes at 1:30), preview the items for the
live auction, and enjoy the delicious refreshments.

auction. His skill and humor delight and entertain the
crowd as he successfully auctions the beautiful donated
items. By close to 3:30 the auction is finished and guests
