SOMERSWORTH—
The 11th annual Holiday Auction of the Greater Somersworth Chamber of Commerce will be held Friday, Nov. 13.
“It’s a lot of fun,” Jennifer Soldati, executive director of the Chamber said.
The live and silent auction will be held at the Great Bay Gallery Foundation Facility at 25 Willand Drive. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the auction beginning at 7:30. An online portion of the event is already underway. It can be accessed at somersworthchamber.com.
The auction is one of only two fund-raisers for the Chamber. The other is a golf tournament.
This year the auction is underwritten by Public Service of New Hampshire, D.F. Richard Energy and Profile Bank as major sponsors and WTSN 1270 as the media sponsor.
On the list of items up for sale is included a Singing Valentine. Ms. Soldati said the group that will deliver the Valentine would be on hand to entertain during the auction.
Also on the list is an oceanfront home for a vacation in El Salvador and a one-hour comedy magic show for a special party. The star of that show will also be on hand to demonstrate some of the show’s content “so you can see what you’re buying,” Ms. Soldati said.
For sports fans there are 2007 World Series baseballs autographed by Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, Red Sox starting pitcher Jon Lester and former Red Sox outfield, now Los Angeles Dodger, Manny Ramirez, and a team -autographed UNH hockey shirt.
Special items include a half-hour real fire truck ride with Santa Claus and a two-hour ride- along in a Somersworth Police Department cruiser.
Also on the docket is a $250 gift certificate toward heating oil from Webber Energy, and a home furnace cleaning.
Tickets for the auction are available at the Greater Somersworth Chamber of Commerce office or at the door. Tickets are $15.
Tickets include light entrees, hors d’oeuvres and soft drinks. A cash bar is available.
