Trekkers Announces Its 2nd Annual Auction Fundraiser
Thomaston, Maine - Trekkers, a nonprofit outdoor-based youth mentoring organization, is holding the second annual Trekkers Auction on Saturday, November 3 at the Owls Head Transportation Museum. Admission and paddle registration are free.
The auction preview will begin at 6:00pm, followed by the live and silent auction from 6:30-8:30pm. The event also will include a dessert buffet for $5 per plate. Auctioneer John D. Bottero, Vice President of Thomaston Place Auction Galleries, is generously donating his services for the evening.

Serving 160 middle and high school students in RSU #13 each year, Trekkers is holding the auction as a benefit fundraiser for students.
