"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 featured at Hospice of Lancaster County's 24th Annual Labor Day Auction, presented by Turkey Hill Dairy. This year's event will be held Saturday, Aug. 30, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and Monday, Sept. 1, 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 2007 it generated $332,000 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 has been expanded this year to include an auction of authentic Amish handcrafted items.

On Saturday, Aug. 30, gift certificates and a variety of merchandise will be featured in the live auction area. Saturday's events include a used item auction, as well as even more new items. On Monday, Sept. 1, simultaneous auctions will occur between 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The auctions will showcase everything from artwork to patio furniture. Featured items include:

  • an original painting by Dolores Hackenberger
  • a framed Suk Shuglie print
  • a quilt made by Deb Sielski
  • a tour of Philadelphia's famous Italian Market
  • two one-week stays at Wyndham Ocean Boulevard-Myrtle Beach Presidential Suite, donated by Thelma Flory
  • weekend stay at a beach house in Cape May, NJ
  • autographed pieces of sports history:
    • a signed Tiger Woods "Shot in the Dark" canvas print
    • ProBowl helmet signed by more than 30 Pro Bowlers.

A highlight of the sale happens on Labor Day with the Win-Some-Wheels raffle drawing for a 2008 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide motorcycle at 2:00 p.m. followed by a drawing for a 2008 Mustang GT Coupe 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 at www.hospiceoflancaster.org.

Bring a big appetite, as Saturday will begin with delicious breakfast omelets at 7:30 a.m. and continue 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 will be prepared on-site as well and will include pretzel logs (filled with meat, egg and cheese) for breakfast, chicken barbecue dinners, chicken corn soup, homemade pies and much more.

Don't forget to bring your lawn chairs! VISA and MasterCard are accepted. Donations of new and gently used items are currently being accepted. For more information, call (717) 295-3900 or e-mail info@hospiceoflancaster.org.
