St. Mary Catholic School dinner, auction Sept. 25

For anyone wanting a fun, festive night out, St. Mary Catholic School in Hillsboro will hold their second quarter auction and spaghetti dinner on Sept. 25. Dinner begins at 5:30 p.m. and the auctions follows at 6:30 p.m.

"We had such a great response in April that we are holding another auction and dinner," said Principal Mary Stanforth.

Quarter auctions are a type of raffle in which people bid on items using quarters and a pre-paid paddle. Anyone wanting to bid on an item will be able to put quarters in a bucket, and when all bidding is complete, a winner will be drawn at random.

The winner, however, must be holding a paddle up in order to win the item, the more paddles you purchase at the door the more chances you have to win. Quarters will be available at the door.

"This has been a terrific fundraiser for the school, and we have many great items that have been donated from independent vendors and businesses, so you will want to come with plenty of quarters," added Stanforth.

The cost of the spaghetti dinner is $6., which includes spaghetti, salad, bread and drink. Paddles for the auction cost $1. There are auction items for men, women and children.
