Time Change For Trout Auction

Due to scheduling issues, the Leaping Trout Art Project Live Auction time has been revised:
CATCH YOUR OWN LEAPING TROUT SAME DATE — LATER TIME Saturday, December 8, 2012
The Arts Upstairs Gallery
60 Main St., Phoenicia

 5 - 6:30 pm: Reception and viewing of the Trout

Artisanal, trout-themed refreshments from Amy’s Take Away will be served.

6:30 - 8 pm: Live Auction

The entire 2012 Leaping Trout art collection, currently on exhibit at the Arts Upstairs Gallery, will be auctioned on December 8, with the live auction commencing at 6:30PM.   We are pleased to announce that the Hudson Valley’s premier auctioneer, Jay Werbalowsky, has agreed to lend his talents to this event.  All proceeds of the auction will go to support the ongoing conservation efforts of our local Ashokan-Pepacton Watershed Chapter of Trout Unlimited, which is sponsoring and financing this project. You can place a bid for your favorite Leaping Trout  online at any time prior to the date of the auction at http://www.theleapingtrout.com. Online bidding will be terminated at midnight of Friday, Dec 7. The highest online bid will become the opening bid at the live auction.

The new time schedule is revised from what was previously advertised, so we need your help in spreading the word. Please make sure your friends, family, neighbors and art patrons know about the 6:30 starting time for the auction.  You can follow the project on Facebook (at Ashokan-Pepacton Watershed Chapter of Trout Unlimited, or APWCTU), our TU chapter website  (www.apwctu.org), and the Leaping Trout website (www.theleapingtrout.com).

Come join us on December 8 for the chance to bid on and own your own Leaping Trout. Share this e-mail. Spread the word!
