Youth Choir auction
The Northern Lights Youth Choir will hold their annual fundraiser auction on Friday, Nov. 27, 2015 at the State Road Advent Christian Church.
Viewing of the items and concessions will run from 5-6 p.m. with the live bidding starting at 6 p.m. with auctioneer Bert Winslow.
The funds raised help the group cover their expenses for their annual tour in April.
Craft fair
The Chapman Ridge Runners Snowmobile Club will host a craft fair on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the clubhouse.
Cinnamon rolls and coffee will be served. There will be a “what-not” table, in addition to handmade items, baked goods, jams/jellies, beans, homemade pies, cookies and whoopie pies. There will also be a goods/services tree where people may choose a tag from the tree for a certificate for a service or item at a bargain price.
The club hopes this is an opportunity to help others through donations during the holidays.
