HARRISON — There will be a 3-T auction Saturday, Oct. 28, beginning at 5 p.m. at Bolsters Mills United Methodist Church, 582 Bolsters Mills Road.
The evening will get under way with a free meal of beans, hot dogs, coleslaw and bread, followed by the auction at 6 p.m. The items to be auctioned off will consist of “Talents,” “Treats” and “Treasures.” Some of the items under the gavel are homemade crafts, household treasures, antiques, Sharon’s art work, handmade talents, A-J’s meatloaf, handmade decorations, Judy’s homemade afghan, Wayne’s cinnamon rolls, sweet treats such as cookies, fudge, Joel’s Finnish Nisu, Pastor John’s homemade applesauce, Carol’s chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, whoopie pies, etc.
Additional donations for the auction can be brought in the night of the auction. Papa’s Boots is a local mission set up in the memory of Bruno Leino of Harrison. The Papa’s Boots mission is associated with Bolster’s Mills United Methodist Church. Bruno’s grandchildren started this project in his honor. Bruno “Papa” would always say, as looked at the Christmas tree full of presents, “look at all these presents we have when there are many children going without winter boots.”
Since 2011, Papa’s Boots has donated hundreds of new pairs of winter boots for children in need in Harrison, Waterford, W. Paris, Hebron, S. Paris and other non-profit organizations who serve people in need. Last Christmas Papa’s Boots gave out 106 pairs of new, warm winter boots. Papa’s Boots have partnered with Lamey-Wellehan in Auburn to help make this mission possible. As always we thank you for your continued support with the projects and missions of Bolster’s Mills United Methodist Church.
