18" doll clothes
Hand-knit doll clothes. There's even more coming. There is also a hand-made armoire. I can't wait to see it.

There are many more exciting items...
I'm a bit behind on the posting. I hope to get caught up by tomorrow. There are more businesses to go into the sidebar and many more cool donations to talk about. The auction committee is frantically working on the program. It will list all the donations. We're trying to squeeze in all the items and not have the program printed in 8 point type. We're also going to look into how we can post it here. If anyone knows how to put a pdf on blogger, let me know.
Thanks,
Kara

More pictures coming soon!
I'm also going to try and find a way to get the auction book online or emailable for those who would like a sneak peak at what we are going to offer. The items are still rolling in. The last tally was $7533.12 in retail auction items and $292 in door prizes. There are many items not in that total. If you have an auction item, we need it by the weekend to get it into the printed auction booklet.
Jill asked in the comments how she can participate if you are out-of-town. Well, there's really no way to bid long-distance. If you would like to donate something and can get it here quickly then you can send along an item. Someone can also make a monetary donation to the fund. The checks can be made out to Holy Cross Catholic Church - Bo Porter Fund and mailed to the church.

We're painting the town yellow!
Well, we're trying anyway. I started off delivering posters on Saturday and Peg & Theresa are all over town spreading the word with our lovely posters printed by Dixon Graphics. Look for the posters when you are out and about. They are yellow and have pictures of Bo all over them. Cindy and I are working away on the program that will list all the auction baskets. I expect to break 200 items in the auction by Thursday. We are also working on the refreshment logistics. The countdown has begun. There are 12 days left until the big event.

We have posters!
It took me two hours to drop off posters at 20 area businesses today. I hope to do at least a few more tomorrow. The first one spotted hanging up was at Needleworks in Champaign. Lots and lots of posters should start popping up all over town this week. Also, look for an article about Bo in the News Gazette. I think it's supposed to be a week from Sunday.
