Every dollar raised through the Silent Auction is utilized toward MFEA’s educational workshops and the Hugh Smith Memorial Michigan Festivals & Events Foundation Educational Scholarship program. Make It Happen! The more we make, the more we can offer our members. Thanks to MFEA members like you, last year’s revenues help provide for an exceptional line-up of over 25 educational workshops at this year’s Convention. We want to offer much more, but we need YOUR help with Silent Auction. Let’s set our goals high and make it a great year!

Items can come in all sizes and varieties. This is an excellent opportunity to advertise your festival and/or special event, hometown area, or your business. Start putting items aside NOW...be creative! Past items may give you some thoughtful ideas: overnight lodging, golf packages, framed print, hot-air balloon ride, fireworks show, wine, gift basket, concert tickets (perhaps in the VIP section), midway passes, Bed & Breakfast weekend getaway, etc. Have fun while supporting the education MFEF brings to its members every year!

New for 2008! We will be providing attendees with a Silent Auction listing at the General Session Luncheon on Friday, November 7, 2008 at 12 noon. Please help us by submitting your Silent Auction donation form prior to Convention. You may bring the donated item (s) with you when you come to Convention. However, to be listed we will need your complete donation information no later than Friday, November 7, 2008 - 10:00 a.m.
