This is a Catathon Blog! Our 4th Catathon is coming up. The date is June 22 which is a Sunday. What is a Catathon you ask? Well.....its something like a telethon. It 100% benefits FFRC and is our main fundraiser for the year. Its an auction telethon! We will have approximately 6 rounds of Baskets--possibly as many as 30-35 baskets total. These baskets all have a theme. We will also have Big Ticket Items. These generally go for 2 rounds instead of 1 round. Lots of extra cool things go into this section. Phone lines will be open during a select time to take your bid. The highest bid, of course, wins! We will have about 8 people working the phones. We also have many many people volunteering this event to make it work. This event is a lot of work, but it sure is fun and we enjoy it! We will have Basket people, people helping with the cam/computer, the FFRC store, parking, Bid recording people, people that will call the winners--lots of helpers! We will also have and encourage visitors! There are 4 main hotels here in Defiance along with a beautiful Bed & Breakfast. These numbers are: Hampton Inn 419-784-1515 Comfort Inn 419-784-4900 Holiday Day Express 419-784-0782 Super 8 Motel 419-782-8000 Def. Bed & Breakfast 419-956-9981 Pld. Bittersweet Inn 419-399-2861 The Catathon runs from 1:00 to 4:30. Its right there on the webcam. The site is ustream.tv/ffrc There will be a BIG pizza celebration for all those who are here after the event is over. If you would like to send in any items to go towards a basket, that would be wonderful. I deeply appreciate this. Listed below are some of the baskets already in progress and maybe not completed. You can, if youd like, make up a new basket title. We may need to rearrange some items so all fit and make a complete basket. Please, to help us be organized and so we can get pictures of all the Baskets and Big Ticket Items displayed for all to see, please try and have items to us BY MAY 31st. This is much appreciated! It takes time to get all this done. Troyer Country Market Basket Bird Interest Basket Black/white Cat Basket Cat Basket (probably 2 of these) Dog Basket BBQ/Grill Basket Kitchen Fun Basket Wisconsin State Basket Hello Kitty Basket(maybe 2 of these) Mickey Mouse Basket Laurel Burch Basket (maybe 2 of these) Nine West Purse stuffed full of great items Rainbow Basket Family Game Time Basket Summer Fun Basket Older Girl Basket Young kids Basket Simply--I Love Cats Baskets Feel Good/Inspirational Basket Other suggested basket themes are: Garden, Baby, Sewing, Sports, stationary/cards--the list could be endless (and fun!).
