Hunkered down for a while? Looking for a new way to pass time on the internet? Well, saunter over to 88.5 KRFY’s benefit online auction and browse the items up for bidding. The auction bidding begins on Saturday, Oct. 10, and closes on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Items can be previewed beginning on Monday, Oct. 5, on the auction website: biddingforgood.com/KRFY. The auction can also be accessed by going to KRFY’s website at krfy.org.
Many local businesses have made generous donations to the auction: Floating Restaurant, Hallans Gallery, 7B Gym, Ivano’s, Campfire Couture, Finan McDonald and Sherrie Daily Massage. Community members have donated homemade apple pies, sushi dinner for 10-12 people, two gallons of Schweitzer huckleberries, evergreen wreaths, an afternoon sail on Lake Pend Oreille and a handmade musical blocks quilt.
Some big-ticket items include a weekend luxury condo at Schweitzer with eight lift tickets; Seattle Seahawks 2021 pre-season tickets and one-night stay at the W Hotel; and a stay at an ocean-front penthouse on Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos.

While we have you ...
... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
