Utilizing Silent Auction Space

This photograph was taken to emphasize the importance of space utilization when setting up silent auction displays. Candle holders screwed into the wall became "hooks" to hang rugby shirts and a jacket. The bid sheets were stapled to cardboard and string was used to hang the bid sheet in front of the item. (Note: when displaying clothing it is best to hang items as opposed to having them folded on a table. Items are more easily viewed when hung, and you won't be left with a rumpled heap of clothing on the auction table!) In this photograph, instead of using tables, we utilized benches that were permanently attached to the walls. All the bid sheets were stapled onto cardboard because the benches were soft cushioned. Use your imagination when placing auction items - utilize anything and everything that will aid in properly displaying your auction items!
