Thanks to all of our generous sponsors!
 "Going once, going twice, SOLD!" Elaborate quilts, handcrafted Amish furniture, more than 150 pieces of framed local artwork, more than 200 pieces of autographed sports memorabilia, vacation packages, home and garden accessories, plants, gift certificates, authentic Amish crafts and delicious Amish-prepared food—all this and more
will be up for bid at Hospice of Lancaster County's 25th Annual Labor Day Auction, presented by Turkey Hill Dairy. The event
will be held Saturday, Sept. 5, 9:00 a.m–5:00 p.m., and Monday, Sept. 7, 8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m., at the Lampeter Fairgrounds, Route 741 and Lampeter Road.
The Hospice of Lancaster County Labor Day Auction is one of Pennsylvania's premier benefit sales; in 2008 it generated $325,000 to support individuals and families coping with end of life and loss. Thousands of items
will be sold simultaneously in multiple arenas both days. This auction is rare for blending an "English" event with one where the best Pennsylvania Dutch food is prepared on-site by the Lancaster County Amish community. In fact, the Labor Day Auction was expanded
in 2008 to include an auction of authentic Amish handcrafted items.
 On Saturday,
Sept. 5, gift certificates and a variety of merchandise will be sold in the live auction area. Saturday's events
will include a used item auction, as well as even more new items. On Monday, Sept.
7, simultaneous auctions will be held between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Plants and shrubbery will be auctioned off at 9:00 a.m. in the Garden Tent
during the Plant Auction, which features Steve Gallion, television's "Garden
Guy."
A highlight of the sale happens on Labor Day with the Win-Some-Wheels raffle drawing for a 2009 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide motorcycle at 2:00 p.m. followed by a drawing for a 2009
Dodge Challenger at 4:00 p.m. Raffle tickets are available at the event and in advance at Hospice of Lancaster County, at community events throughout the summer and

Saturday begins with delicious breakfast omelets at 7:30 a.m. and continues with Pennsylvania Dutch fare throughout the day, including chicken corn soup, pork barbecue sandwiches, whoopie pies and homemade milkshakes, just to name a few of the offerings prepared on-site by Amish friends of Hospice of Lancaster County. Monday's menu
is prepared on-site as well and includes pretzel logs (filled with meat, egg and cheese) for breakfast, chicken barbecue dinners, chicken corn soup, homemade pies and much more.
