County Executive turns auctioneer for 34th Dems’ Garden Party

We’re spotlighting outdoor events even more than usual these next few days, since it’s usually cooler outside in the evening than in a non-air-conditioned house/apartment, so here’s another one: Friday night is the annual Garden Party/Auction for our area’s largest political organization, the 34th District Democrats. This year’s auctioneer is King County Executive Dow Constantine; the auction will include donated items from a Napa getaway to condos in Spain to airline tickets. He’s not the only local political leader you’ll see – prime-time for ear bending while you mingle. The Haggis Brothersfeatured at The Mount last Friday – are the musical guests. The food theme this year is “All-American BBQ” – from The Swinery. It all happens at West Seattle Nursery, 6 pm Friday; more info here.

    Dow is one of the best auctioneers for fundraising events! I have been to several when he has done this and he gets the bidding going!

    This is going to be one heck of a good party! I hope folks can come out and enjoy themselves. There will be plenty of ice cream and cold drinks to cool you off.

    I can’t wait. 115 auction items including the silent auction. Someone will have to hide my bidding number from me!

    This is always a fun party! I’ve purchased lots of fun auction items over the years.

    Marcee, I can’t hide your bidding number but I could definitely bring you another beverage! :)
