A silent auction with 42 available items will be held as well; up for grabs are VIP parking spots at Fort Recovery High School basketball games, gift certificates and handcrafted items.

Other raffles and games are planned to give those in attendance a chance to walk away with cash or other prizes. There will be a 50/50 raffle, a gun raffle and a raffle for a set of 14 karat gold earrings set with 24 round diamonds.
