More than 150 items will be up for auction during the annual Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce Online Auction. Bidding starts at 9 a.m. Friday, March 13 and continues until noon on Saturday, March 21.
“We have a lot of gift cards, which is great because people love those,” said Amy Crown, executive director of the chamber of commerce.
In addition to the gift cards there also are gift baskets, gift bundles and a variety of items for everyone. Bigger items up for grabs include a foosball table, air hockey table and tools.
Donation for the auction come from members of the community and the 300 plus organizations that belong to the chamber. They are gathered up by Crown, office assistant Debbie Ford, and an auction committee that includes Jandi Adams, Clary Gardens; Jackie Dickerson, McWane Ductile; Delia Meek, Coshocton Regional Medical Center; Sherri Gibson, Ohio Means Jobs; Angie Williams, City of Coshocton; Nicole Maynard, HER Realtors; and Melissa Rodgers, HER Realtors.
The monetary goal for the auction is $12,000 and that money is put into the chamber’s marketing fund.
“We use that to market our members all year long,” Crown said.
