You never know what you’ll find … and win … at our annual Meicher Madness Auction. You can get great deals and get rid of some stuff (to make way for new stuff, of course). It’s a very fun night and you might walk away with:

• Proven patterns tied by local masters
• Beautiful fly rods
• More proven patterns tied by local masters
• Fabulous fly tying materials
• Wildlife artwork
• All manner of outdoor gear
• And who can even guess what else?

Auction items needed! Besides your bids, we also need items for the auction. Gear, books, flies, boots, waders, vests, artwork, services and more! If it’s remotely related to our sport and the outdoors, somebody will buy it! Just bring it that night and somebody will place a bid. This is our second biggest annual fundraiser. All proceeds go to preserve and protect our cold water resource.

Auctioneer needed! (Yes, you read that right.) We’re down to one auctioneer and would really appreciate a volunteer so that we have at least two. If interested (PLEASE!), contact Topf Wells at (608) 231-3037 or topfwells@gmail.com.  Or show up at the auction by 6 PM with a strong voice and pure heart (or at least the former).

Please arrive EXTRA EARLY on March 13 to set out your donated item and/or preview items. We will start PROMPTLY at 7 p.m. and move things along as quickly as we can so the auction doesn’t run too late.

As usual, the meeting is upstairs at the Coliseum Bar and Grill on East Olin Avenue at 7 p.m. but please join us earlier for dinner and a few stories.
