Celebration! Come On!
The One-of-a-Kind Auction Committee which raises funds for Fort Recovery’s Historical Sites and Events is busy gathering and organizing great items for its annual live auction, silent auction and raffle. Check the museum Facebook page for pictures of some of the items. Also, take note! Historical society members have tickets to sell for the $1095 diamond necklace donated for the event by Jones Jewelry of Celina. Necklace tickets are just $5.00 or 3/$10. Tickets are also available at the museum or at Kaup’s Pharmacy.

The Celebration Theme was selected for the auction in recognition of the 75th Anniversary of the Fort Recovery Historical Society and the 20th One-of-a-Kind Auction! Some lucky auction attendee on October 17 will win the $75 cash Celebration prize, courtesy of the Historical Society. No ticket to purchase – just attendance at the auction qualifies you!
