Auction items at the Sixth Annual Dinner
For many, the best part about SVBC’s Annual Dinner is the chance to score some amazing deals in our silent and live auctions. We are here to help you prepare your winning bid ahead of time by showcasing a few of our biggest tickets. Bidding generally starts at about 50% of the listed retail price.
Of course, there will be much more to bid on than we can show here. What a great opportunity to start your holiday shopping. What would that special someone in your life prefer: socks or clipless pedals? A tie or some new riding gear? Books on tape or a new mountain bike?
