To raise prize money for our California weigh-offs the California Pumpkin Growers are making 18 lots available through a silent auction at bigpumpkins.com starting February 18 and running through February 28. The online portion of the silent auction will run until February 28th, 12:00 PM Pacific Time. EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE TO BID IN THE ONLINE AUCTION. Bidding will resume on these 18 lots on March 3, 2018, at the California Pumpkin Growers Meeting in Elk Grove, CA. Attendees at the March 3 meeting will have the final ability to top any online bids. Any online bids that are not topped at the March 3 meeting will win that auction. The 18 lots that were in the online silent auction will be offered as silent auction items on a separate table at the March 3 meeting. Proxy bidding will be allowed only by prior arrangement with Russ Pugh at russ@vineman.com. Minimum bid of $15 on each lot and bids shall be raised in $5 increments.

If anyone who has placed a bid on a California Silent Auction item would like to make a proxy bid to insure that they will remain the top bidder as bids raised at the Elk Grove meeting on March 3rd, e-mail Russ Pugh (russ@vineman.com) with the maximum amount you would be willing to raise your bid to for the particular item you have bid on. Please do so before 5:00 PM PST on Friday, March 2nd. As bids continue to come in at the meeting your proxy bid will be placed in $5 increments above the latest bid placed at the March 3rd meeting until your proxy amount has been topped.
