MAIDSTONE — The annual Maidstone Museum silent auction was held April 9 and 10 in conjunction with the Maidstone Trade Fair and was well attended.
The Maidstone Chamber of Commerce and Bank of Commerce donated the main door prize, a KitchenAid small appliance package. It was won by Garrett Benkendorf.
Dorothy Schwartz donated a silent auction raffle prize of a picture, framed by Scott Wiltermuth, called Prairie Gold. No one seems to remember who won it.
A door prize of a barn board frame, donated by Evelyn Janice, was won by Kim Young.
After the trade show closed Saturday night, the museum members hosted the vendors for a delicious roast beef supper, which was attended by about 150 people. We wish to thank all who attended and those volunteers who helped make this two-day event a financial and enjoyable success.
Maidstone Museum members held their monthly meeting at the museum on the evening of April 18. In the absence of the president, vice-president Be11 McGillvary chaired the meeting. Randy Pike, treasurer, gave the financial report. Dorothy Schwartz took minutes due to late arrival of the secretary.
The results of the silent auction were discussed. Price to be charged for the upcoming performance by western singer Larry Krause and the barbecue to be held June 18 at the museum will be finalized at the May meeting.
There will be four members attending the NWMA meeting at Spiritwood on April 30.
