Fishnut, your making me all the more depressed. LOL!!!
.....have a two year old that would never sit still, dont have anyone to look after him for a few hours, dont have a drive there, etc....
I'm so definitely going next year and bringing my future 3 yr old.
(oh ,and are we allowed to bring a 3yr old to ovas meetings? Cause thats the only thing thats stopping me)

[Nerine]

yes give me a heads up and I will have some goodies there!! I bring my 3yr old every once in awhile (I stopped recently due to I'm in town ALLL day and he gets super cranky by the time midnight rolls around haha)

[shannon333]

Ah Kool :0)
I'm all happy now !!

[washefuzzy]

All children are welcome. 

[exv152]

Very nice door prizes!

[Fishnut]

Kids are welcome!  Bring some things for them to do...colouring, quiet toys, etc.  My 2 year old usually stays home with daddy, but if he needs to go my blackberry is a great source of entertainment as he watches home movies of himself.

[touchofsky]

What is the opening bid for the Starfire or is it a silent auction?

What is the opening bid for the Starfire or is it a silent auction?

It is the silent auction. The minimum bid is set at $300. The total value of this setup is $820!
Looks like someone will be getting a deal!

[Lurch1]

In the future would we be able to have an Auction on any day other then Sunday?

[Nerine]

You MUST be present to claim your raffle items!! They CANNOT go back with me!! I do NOT live in Ottawa

But you can show up at ANY time during the auction...

Bring your tot! we have colouring books just bring crayons!

[Nerine]

Lurch - Maybe? I think Sunday has been the day that works out for most people and the room availability...

Hope you guys had a good time. I was really disappointed to miss the auction this year by my oldest boy had a karate tournament all day today and I couldn't miss that.

Thanks to all of the executive, volunteers, sellers and buyers who made this Giant Auction a success once again. Thanks also to those who made donations so that my job of selling raffle tickets would be an easy one.

I sold everything that I brought. I only bought a couple of bags at the auction itself. Then I took my profits out into the hallway, met the raffle winner who had won the aquarium donated by Fish Tail Aquariums,  ended up buying that aquarium and then proceeded to break it while loading it into my vehicle OUCH!

Contact me if you would like a broken designer aquarium  .

[Nerine]

Oh no!!! maybe it can be a nice planter now???  (( so sad!!


A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out today and volunteered!!! Without you guys this auction would not have been possible!!! We got out of there EARLY!! I'm home and it's 8:35!! WOOHOO!! I was going to go out to eat, but decided I should get some sleep instead hahahaha

Thank you again everyone!! And a HUGE thank you to our sponsors and friends of OVAS!!

[Cheebs]

Thank you OVAS! I had a great time. rockgarden, I'm sad the tank I sold you broke Thankfully it wasn't an extremely expensive purchase, but still crummy nonetheless! I'm glad the rest worked out for you.

[rockgarden]

I'm resting my legs for bit and watching the curling. After that, I'll add some photos to my blog.

Take a look later tonight or on Monday. Hopefully I caught a few chuckle shots

Ouch, that was a nice tank.

I was the luck winner of the 37 Gallon LED kit but unfortunately my better half says we don't have room for it.  I will be posting it up for sale soon.

Great job today, well done!
