Annual auction includes Maroon 5 package


A Maroon 5 experience and a Paint and Sip Sensation are two of the items offered in this year's Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club dinner and auction.

The annual fundraiser will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, at the King family barn five miles up the North Fork of the Siuslaw River.

Money raised goes to supporting athletics at Siuslaw Middle School and Siuslaw High School.

The Maroon 5 package includes two tickets to the Oct. 15 concert in Portland. Also included is a room at the Hotel Lucia and dining at The Imperial.

The stay includes a premium King room with a hosted craft beer reception, according to organizers.

The Imperial was Willamette Week's 2015 restaurant of the year.

Sponsors of the package are Dutch Brothers Coffee and Florence Yamaha.

The Paint and Sip Sensation is a painting class for up to six guests in your home or location of your choice in the Florence area.

Your hosts are local artist Kim Pickell, who will provide instruction, and Jennifer Waggoner, who will provide wine and appetizers.

Sponsors include Waggoner, Pickell and BeauArts Fine Art Marterials.

Tickets for the auction/dinner, dubbed the Booster Barn Bash, are $40, and are available at The Shippin' Shack, Wind Drift Gallery and Coastal Fitness& Aquatics.

For information or to donate, you can call Waggoner at 541-520-1255 or email her at jwaggoner@peak.org.
