The Silent Auction started as a means for the crafters to promote their merchandise and bring in additional funds for the Festival. Over the years it has expanded to include businesses in and around Duluth. All proceeds go into the general fund of the Festival and are used to beautify Duluth. The auction accepts gift certificates for businesses, merchandize, and of course, cash is always welcome! To donate an item, please call Helen Jones at 770-476-5083 or Maxine Garner at 770-623-6631. Thanks for your support!
