I’d like to say that there are too many items (AKA, reasons to attend) to list but that’s kind of a cop-out. So here are the highlights of what will be available for Live Auction, Silent Auction and Bucket Raffle at the 2013 Cutthroat Chapter Annual Auction at 6pm on November 12th at The Wildlife Experience.This year, the Live Auction portion includes more than thirty separate items. And many of them are ‘big ticket’ items like one night at the Devil’s Thumb Ranch Resort, a Rocky Mountain Angling Club membership, a full-day float trip with Steamboat Angler, a 3-night ‘Sip & Soar’ trip to Napa Valley, CA that includes a hot air balloon ride and a winter escape for two for 4-nights to the Fairmont Bermuda Resort. There will also be an opportunity through the Live Auction to sponsor a student so they may attend one of the youth events CCTU organizes.But you don’t have to be a big spender to participate in the Live Auction. It also includes more affordable items like 1-day guided trips from legendary shops like Blue Quill Angler and Breckenridge Outfitters, selections of flies from the likes of Pat Dorsey and Richard Pilatzke, fly rods and reels, gift baskets and framed, signed prints. Surely there will be an item of interest to you.Looking for flies tied by some of our notable chapter members and local fly fishing celebrities? Then the Silent Auction is where you want to spend your time. Literally dozens and dozens of flies will be available.But the Silent Auction will also have other items of interest like an elk BBQ set, an elk-antler candle holder, several selections of spirits (alcohol) for those days when the catching isn’t lifting your spirits, float tubes, posters/pictures, fishing vests and fishing books.Still not enough for you to choose from? Try your luck with the Bucket Raffle where you could win shirts, prints, books, gift certificates, knives and even hair extensions.As if that’s not enough reason to attend our single fund-raising event of the year, there will be catered hors devours, a cash bar and the opportunity to tour the Wildlife Experience’s many displays. Plus, it’s yet another opportunity to catch up with everyone’s fishing exploits of the summer.The best reason to attend is to support the many conservation projects and youth programs that Cutthroat Chapter provides. All of the money raised goes to CCTU and its projects and programs.You will be able to purchase tickets at the door or you may contact Mac Ishii, 303.345.3478 (conradishii@yahoo.com).In case you forgot to add our Annual Auction at 6pm on November 12th at the Wildlife Experience to your calendar earlier, please visit our first post with all the details.
