COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Organizers and volunteers for the 42nd Annual Tibbits Auction are now accepting donations.
The deadline for donations is October 16. Items must be new, vintage, or gently used and in clean condition.
Cash sponsorships are also needed and will be broken into five character-themed categories.
The theme for this year’s event is“Auction at the Opera House” which will be a Phantom-Inspired Masquerade.
The annual auction is the main fundraising event for the Tibbits Opera House.
Businesses and individuals are encouraged to participate. All silent auction items go live for bidding November 2 with the live auction set for Saturday night, November 6.
According to Tibbits Executive Director Christine Delaney, “We are planning the live auction as an in-person ticketed event with items set up on stage and a reception in the art gallery. We are also monitoring the current health conditions for our community and if necessary will be able to pivot to a virtual event.” Festivities for the live auction will begin at 6:00 p.m. with the live auction starting at 7:00 p.m.
To donate to the Tibbits Annual Auction, drop items off Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the Tibbits administrative office at 93 West Chicago Street in Coldwater or call (517) 278-6029 to arrange for pick up.
