DALLAS — We all have fond memories of this year’s Back Mountain Memorial Library Annual Auction, but if it seems like July was so long ago, the library has great news.
On Tuesday, Oct. 13, the place to be will be at Traver’s Auction Barn for the Back Mountain Memorial Library’s Apple Harvest Auction. The location is 56 Dorchester Drive in Dallas, the time is 4:30 p.m. and the bargains are limitless. Items up for auction will include antiques, all types of collectibles, jewelry, baskets of fruits, flowers and pies.
There will also be fruits, vegetables, pumpkins, fall flowers, baked goods and cider for sale. Topping off the fun will be raffles and a few surprises.
The doors will open at 4:30 p.m. Auctioning will begin at 5:30 p.m. The library expresses its sincere gratitude for the generous sponsorship of Steve Traver (TraversAuctions.com); Brace’s Orchard (facebook.com/Braces-Orchard) and Dymonds Farm Market (facebook.com/Dymonds-Farm-Market-and-Bakery).
