The Best Lincoln Silent Auction in Town
We will be auctioning off a limited-edition President Lincoln bobblehead figure, souvenir Lincoln plates, vintage Lincoln post cards, a wide selection of Lincoln books, a collectible Lincoln Memorial Hallmark ornament, a framed print of our popular Lincoln Word Portrait and more. Winners will be announced at the close of the evening.
And if you want to start a children’s library of Lincoln books for your kids, we have them.
You will enjoy the fun bidding on these items while sampling the best dessert buffet in Kalamazoo.
Yes, Virginia, Lincoln had a Sweet Tooth!
Once again, Keynote Confections will be providing all kinds of delectable desserts. Coffee and tea will also be served. Please know, you can only have as much as you want!
