Healthy Kids Day, community auctions headline extravaganza

BEAVER SPRINGS — Auction enthusiasts can unite today for a trifecta of sales on Saturday at the Middlecreek Area Community YMCA in Beaver Springs.

The YMCA will host Healthy Kids Day, along with a community auction event, as it announces a day of fun, family and fundraising for the Snyder County facility.

What better way to celebrate 23 years of service to the community than with Healthy Kids Day and a Chinese, silent and live auction extravaganza.

The festivities start at 9 a.m. with the all-free Healthy Kids Day, which offers a jam-packed lineup of family-friendly activities, including pony rides, fire trucks, kids’ games, hot dogs, local vendors and much more.

“It’s a great opportunity for families to come together, enjoy the outdoors, and learn about the importance of healthy living,” said Lindsey Anderson, executive director of the Middlecreek Area Community YMCA, located at 67 Elm St., Beaver Springs.

“In conjunction with Healthy Kids Day, the MAC Y will host three auctions throughout the day, starting with a Chinese auction with more than 500 items and gift certificates. Winners will be contacted Monday.

There will also be a silent auction, featuring more than120 high-quality items, including gift cards, themed gift baskets, children’s items and handcrafted home décor. Be sure to obtain your bidding number from the front desk before placing your bids. Winners will be announced Saturday night during the live auction.

The live auction, which starts at 7 p.m. today, will have a fantastic array of goods and services under the gavel, including a walleye fishing trip to Lake Erie, family summer fun packages and a curated selection of remarkable pieces. Pick up a copy of the live auction booklet — available at the MAC YMCA front desk — to preview items and plan a bidding strategy.

One of the other highlights will be the “Keys for Cash” Giveaway In celebration of 23 years. The MAC YMCA will hand off three cash prizes — $23, $230 and $2,300.

More than 400 keys are available for distribution, and three lucky winners will unlock the cash prizes during the live auction. Only one key per person and you must be present to win.

“Join us at the MAC YMCA for a full day of community, celebration and excitement, while supporting programs that enrich lives and strengthen families,” Anderson added.
