Blessing Bid to Honor Charlie

Posted on June 12, 2019
As the Northern Michigan Relief Sale grows older, so do the long time volunteers. This year we lost two of our friends and co-workers. Charlie Card was one of them. Many of you may have a recollection of a bearded man on a golf cart navigating the fairgrounds. That was Charlie. He helped for many […]

Blessing Bid in Memory of Ardis

Posted on June 9, 2019
Every year brings changes and sometimes losses. This past fall we lost a longtime Northern Michigan Relief Sale worker. Many of you may remember Ardis Miller. For many years Ardis worked in the office all the while participating in the quilting part of the sale. She gave up the office work for full dedication to […]

A Good Sale

Posted on August 6, 2018
Sandwiched between torrential rains Thursday night (I think we could win the most water held by a canopy without collapsing award)  and a 911 call for a medical emergency Saturday afternoon, the 2018 Northern Michigan Relief Sale was a success. Overall the total was up from last year. Preliminary results show $150,000. Several areas were […]

Gray Escape

Posted on July 10, 2018
Imagine for a moment the possibilities for the name Gray Escape. A new hair color product? A senior bus tour? A vacation out of or into the city? A smog reduction process? Sidewalk paint? A broad spectrum lamp? I’m sure you could invent some other good choices for that name. But, you would be wrong! […]

Horse and Buggy

Posted on July 5, 2018
Clippety-clop, Clippety-clop… The sound, the feel, the smell of riding in a horse drawn buggy. Have you had that experience? Want to have it in miniature? Expect to see it in the 2018 Northern Michigan Relief Sale Auction. Do you remember the scale model farm machinery that Virgil Handrich use to make for the sale? […]

What’s a Silent Auction?

Posted on June 27, 2018
A silent auction can be lively but not loud. You win the item by writing your proposed bid amount on a paper that goes with the desire of your heart. Of course just like in a regular auction you may have to bid and rebid to be the winner. You just don’t have to declare […]

Wooden Quilt

Posted on June 25, 2018
Wood is beautiful. Quilts are too. If you combine the two you get a great looking wall hanging. At least we did this time. Take a look at this 24 1/2 inch square wooden wall quilt. Different species of wood are used to get the different colors. The grain pattern of each piece makes for […]
