Silent Auction

Our online silent auction is an exciting part of Corks, Caps, & Casks—and it begins before the event even starts.

Bidding will open a couple of weeks prior to November 7, giving supporters the opportunity to browse and bid on a variety of unique items, experiences, and packages from local businesses and community partners.

Auction items will also be on display during the event, allowing guests to view them in person while continuing to place bids throughout the afternoon.

Bidding will remain open during the event and will close shortly after. Winning bidders may pick up their items following the close of the auction.

Whether you attend the event or participate online, the silent auction is a fun and meaningful way to further support the youth programs of Hoosier Trails Council.
