One-of-a-Kind Zippo Being Auctioned
Kentucky Derby, casino night, live auction, hat parade, Southern cuisine, champagne fountain … what could be better? That’s exactly what is happening Saturday night at the Derby Gala.
Proceeds from this annual event, which runs from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Pennhills Club, go towards the Bradford Area Library Endowment Fund.
This event is not just the horse race – there’s so much more. New this year is the casino night with “funny money” party-goers will get with the purchase of their ticket. They can then try their luck in the casino and bid on the funny money auction later in the night, including a Case knife in a display case that is valued at $400.
The live auction includes prized items are perfect for those who collect Zippos, Dave Hodges sculptures or, perhaps, need to get away from it all.
A unique, one-of-a-kind red Zippo lighter is one of the auction items. This is part of a series of collectible, unique lighters that have been made available for the Gala only.
But the lighter isn't all the winner gets. Zippo also added a private tour of
the manufacturing facility to the winner and a guest. This includes the
customization area where the lighter was designed. This isn’t something that is offered every day.
Another auction items is a set of Zippo lighters that were decorated in the Derby theme by Roseart. A bronze sculpture by Bradford native Dave Hodges is also on the auction block. "Woodland Phantom" is of a deer leaping through the air.
The fourth auction item is generously donated by Dr. Steve and Gail Hermann – a “Vacation Getaway” anywhere they’d like to go for one full week. There are 3,000 destinations to choose from – worldwide!
Those interested in this item can go to www.rci.com/RCI/ to check out the locations. A $500 Visa gift card is also included.
After a winter like we’ve had, who wouldn’t want to get away?
Tickets are available at the Bradford Area Public Library, Graham's Florist,
Grandma's House Teas & Gifts and Tina's Hallmark. Tickets will be available at the door, however, pre-sales are encouraged.
