Hi everyone, This is the first time I am posting a topic. I'm not registered right now but am in the process of getting this completed. Our elementary school (K & 1) will be having our Fall festival in about 2 months. I'm pretty sure this is the first time a silent basket auction has been tried at our school. We are going to start small this year. Probably only 6 baskets - 3 from the kindergarten and 3 from the 1st grade. An experiment to see how it goes over. Anyway, I need any and all advice on procedures, rules, things that people have learned from past experiences, basically how to do this successfully. I have a few ideas of my own but I'm a complete novice. I've read through most of the topics from the last year in this forum and have gotten some great ideas for themes. I would love to hear any more ideas for themes also. Thank you in advance to everyone who replies - Roadrunner
