2014 SCOA Auction
WHY is the annual SCOA Auction important? The purpose is to raise funds to help cover costs
for the Specialty week – to provide us with a great venue, to pay for fields and birds used in the
hunt tests, cover judges costs, trophies, welcome packets, to pay presenters in order to keep
the membership informed about issues affecting our breed, etc. etc. Without the auction, and
YOUR DONATIONS, the Specialty week would not be possible! So… consider donating
13
something to be auctioned! It can be anything – something you made, something you bought,
dog related or people related – something that stands out to YOU that you think another
participant might bid on! State or themed baskets are popular, as well as individual items.
This year there will be both a silent and a live auction, scheduled for May 29, 2014. The live
auction is always a highlight of the week, with good natured bidding wars and banter between
competing participants. Please consider donating an item or two to put your own special
touch on the auctions, and help SCOA defray the cost of the Specialty week!

everyone. If a shortage of space occurs, the number of paid additional spaces
available may be limited. Exhibitors who wish to reserve spaces together need to
send their reservations together in one envelope.
Electricity will be available at drying stations only. A bathing station will be located
