What’s a Quarter Auction, You Ask?

It’s part auction, part raffle, and a whole lot of fun! You’ll have the chance to win amazing items—gift cards, event tickets, handmade goods, pet treats, crafts, and more—for just 25¢ to $1 per bid.

Here’s how it works:

Items are presented one at a time with a quarter bid value (1 to 4 quarters). Want to bid? Drop your quarters in the jar, raise your paddle(s), and wait for your number to be called!

The more paddles you have, the better your odds—so bring your quarters and your friends!

All proceeds benefit the Sanilac County Historical Society, with $500 in matching funds generously provided by Woman’s Life Chapter 927 of Lexington.
