Charity benefit underway

New Vocations ninth annual stallion and merchandise auction will be held in conjunction with the winter Blooded Horse Sale February 12 and 13 in Delaware, Ohio, and featured items offered in a silent auction format include a breeding to top trotting sire Conway Hall, a custom painted Blackjack Sheriff, accomodations for six for a week on Marco Island in Florida, and four nights at the Rio Suites in Las Vegas, including airfare and show tickets for two.

“We deeply appreciate Pennsbury and Craig Stein’s generous donation of the race bike,” said executive director Dot Morgan, “as well as, Mary Johnsons’ beachfront condo, and Augie Blevins’s Vegas package. These items really enhance our fund-raiser that also offers beautifully framed racing art, equine wall hangings and centerpieces, tack, jewelry, memorabilia, and much more. Weather permitting there will even be a paint pony.”

The stallion auction portion of the fund-raiser is currently in progress at www.ongait.com with 84 stallions from 11 states and Canada offered.

“This is the last opportunity to purchase a Conway Hall breeding,” Morgan said. “I can’t thank Walnut Hall Ltd. enough for this generous donation. Conway Hall’s book has been closed for months.”

Both auctions conclude Tuesday, Feb. 13, at 2 p.m. For those unable to attend the sale, bids for breedings and merchandise may be called into the New Vocations office (937) 947-4020 through Saturday, Feb. 10.
