We want everyone to come to the Gala prepared to do some serious bidding this year at the Annual OHJA Silent Auction. Here is a list of some of the items that we have lined up for this year. The first of the evenings auctions will close starting at 7:00. Various tables will continue to close throughout the evening every 20 minutes. You will want to make sure to arrive by 5:00 to have plenty of time to view all the items before dinner to make your bidding plans for the evening. Remember that this is a MAJOR fundraiser for OHJA with proceeds going toward the Junior Equestrian Fund's scholarship programs, Year End Awards, and on going OHJA operations. Also, if you have spoken with Sam Shahbazi about donating an item for this year's auction, please call her at 503-320-6137 or email her at shahbazi.sameera@gmail.com to let her know exactly what your item is and how to arrange dropping it off to her. Sam is also willing to pick up the items for you. She needs to either have the items or a description of the items by Friday January 6th AND confirmation that the items will be brought to the banquet no later than 4:00 the afternoon of the event.
