Holiday Paddle Party set for Wednesday at the Owego Elks Lodge

Who is ready for some bidding fun? It’s time to grab your quarters and put your paddles up! Join the Owego Elks Lodge for a fantastic Holiday Paddle Party on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at the Owego Elks Lodge. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for the preview and refreshments. The bidding starts at 6:30 p.m.

Here is how it works. For your $5 admission, you will receive four paddles and matching chips (you may choose to purchase more than one admission). The chips are placed in a large drawing bin for the auction. When bidding is called, you decide how many paddles (chances) you want to bid.

Each bid is 25 cents. You bid one quarter for each paddle you raise. If your number is drawn, you win the item for that auction flight. Numbers are drawn until a winner is called. There will be six flights featuring each vendor for bidding.

The organizers are anticipating the presence of some exciting vendors for the evening. Down Home Crafts, Christy’s Creations, and Jessica’s Country Recipes will have country craft designs and homemade goods available.

Classy Glass by Anita will offer her hand-painted glassware. Color Street, Lu Laroe, Mary Kay, and Silly Sock Lady offer holiday style and pampering solutions. Pour Saps Maple Syrup and Tonya’s Cheesecakes will satisfy any sweet tooth with homemade syrup and holiday desserts.

To finish the bidding, Tupperware, Thirty-One Gifts, and Rhonda’s Wreaths bring holiday decorating and gift-giving fun to the evening. Each participating business will have six items for bid.

Bring your friends, family, and neighbors for a fun evening. The Lodge will have food and beverages available for purchase. Bring your quarters and bid often. Everyone has a chance to win wonderful products.

The Owego Elks Lodge is located at 223 Front St. in the village of Owego. All net proceeds from this event will help fund Lodge improvements. The Owego Elks Lodge offers an affordable venue for events, meetings, dinners, and community gatherings.
