Houlton Maine Rotarians make calls, canvas businesses, collect items and services. Every year the week of Thanksgiving has an exciting three nights of bidding in the Southern Aroostook area.
Local folks of all ages make bids on half hour items. Bids are read on the air, collected and when the half hour is done, read the winners, reset the bid board, start another set of items. Over $53,000 worth of itreasures collected to peddle on air, being broadcast on Polaris Cable, streamed on the internet thanks to Pioneer Wireless, and broadcast on WHOU FM 100.1. The local Houlton Pioneer Times inserts the auction program in the local weekly newspaper so listens can be ready to bid on the list of items they would like to own. With Christmas a short time away, items for loved ones on your list can be found... many items and services unique to Houlton Maine to bid on. The auction is held at Watson Hall on Main Street and is open to the public. Lots of food, drinks and Rotary fellowship is available to anyone off the street that wants to watch the operation.
