SILENT AUCTION REMINDERS

We ask that you have patience with our staff members as we navigate the lines in the most efficient way to get your items to you and get you checked out. 

We have discovered through our years of doing this that there is no fast or easy way to get this done. But we do the best we can.

We do remind you that we are all volunteers!!

( You can have other people from your club, county or area pick up your items but they must pay for them first. (We can also take your card over the phone. )

* We will not ship any items

* Yes we accept cash, good checks and credit/debit cards ($2 charge when using CC/Debit card)

* Checks are written to VTF-Horse

*Cash and Carry ends at noon on Saturday.

* Please keep an eye on your children so they are not going around writing on the bid sheets without your permission. 

* When we say pens down (at 3pm on Saturday) Please do not cheat. Immediately put your pens down

* If you make a mistake on a bidsheet Please So Not Scratch it out just immediately let one of our staff members know and we will take care of it for you. Thank You!

* Though we do except “clean and lots of life left” used items, please do not bring us dirty, stinky items. We do not have the desire or the time to clean these items and we cannot mix them in with other donations. Thank You!
