After two-year hiatus, the much anticipated NWA Lumber & Tool Auction will be back on Saturday, September 17th, 2022. All lumber offered at the auction has been air dried for at least two years. Large and small power tools as well as hand tools, all provided by generous donors, will be available. While large tools will be auctioned, smaller tools are offered at fixed prices on a “Cash & Carry” first-come first-served basis.

Doors open at 10:00 am for viewing. Cash & Carry sale starts at 10:00 am. Auction starts at 12 noon. Credit card payment is accepted for purchases of $50 or more.

Volunteers are needed for setting up on Wednesday, September 14th and Thursday, 15th. Contact Lee Hilt nwaauction1@gmail.com or Juliana Shei fftreasurer@yahoo.com if you are available to help.

Thank you.
