Silent Auction and Wine Tasting - April 24, 2010

The Cambridge Jubilee Committee is doing something different this year. Rather than a White Elephant Auction (where you end up going home with someone else's *ahem* junk)... we're going to have a Wine Tasting!!  Sample wines from White Oak and Snus Hill wineries. NO ADMISSION FEE. Wine samples for $1 each. Food and other beverages can be purchased.

Saturday, April 24, 2010, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm at the Cambridge, Iowa Community Center

Door prizes every fifteen minutes!

Chair massages from Lyn Hook of A Healing Touch  for $1 per minute.

Gift baskets and packages with new, donated items and services will be auctioned. For example:
- Beach basket (beach towel, bag, spray tan certificate, ect)
- Doggie goodies (treats and dog food)
- Home basket (candles, home decor)
- Reiman gardens (annual membership and anniversary book)
- White Oak wine tasting at their winery
- Fishing basket (rod and reel, tackle)
- Adventureland tickets
- ICubs tickets
- Barnstormers tickets
- Song bird packet (20 plants designed to entice song birds to your yard)
- Spa package (massage, hair cut, spray tan, ect)

Remember:  The Cambridge Jubilee Days are June 11-13, 2010.
