Worth Repeating is holding a silent auction from April 7 until May. There are 24 donated items on display in the store window at 110 East Main. Many of these are quilted pieces created by area residents. There is also a selection of vintage items, classic Coach purses and framed art. Bidding ends at 1 pm on Saturday, May 8.

Any interested bidders will need to register for a bidding number at the checkout counter of Worth Repeating. All bids will be made by number. By using numbers, bids will remain anonymous. Bidding sheets are located inside the store. All bids must be made in dollar increments.

Winning bidders will be contacted on Saturday, May. Winning bidders will have until Saturday, May 15 to claim and pay for their items. If the item has not been claimed by May 15, the next highest bidder will be notified. The second highest bidder is now eligible to purchase the item as the winner forfeited their right to the prize.

All proceeds from the auction will be added to Worth Repeating funds to aid Manchester schools, local charities, and efforts to improve life in Manchester.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
