The third annual Double E Memorial Box Auction, held in memory of the late Eldon Hart, will be held at Old Defiance Days Saturday morning, June 21st following the Parade. It will be held on the stage.
For many years, Hart would entertain everyone with a box auction to help raise funds for the next year’s celebration. He could have made a living as an auctioneer.
The concept is simple — each box will contain a new item that has never been used. You have no idea what you are bidding on, but it turns out that people will bid anyway, sometimes to prodigious amounts.
Last year’s auction raised enough money to supply the entertainment for this year. The Barbwire Band will perform from 12:30 to 3:30 this year.
Proceeds from this year’s sale will go to pay for the entertainment for next year’s celebration.
