With items up for bid from dining experiences to quilts, the 52nd annual Beaver Camp Auction was held June 7 and 8 at Forest Park Pavilion at Lewis County Fairgrounds in Lowville directed by auctioneers Todd Jantzi and Scott Zehr. In addition to the auction, there were food booths selling breakfast, lunch and dinner, and tables for sales by other organizations such as the Mennonite Heritage Farm. According to Beaver Camp executive director Mike Judd, the auction grossed approximately $61,870 with money expected from a few underwriters and expenses still rolling in, the event is expected to net $45-50,000.‘The money raised is used to offset the cost of summer children’s camp,’ said Mr. Judd. “In a typical year our rates cover about 75% of the actual cost of camp. The auction, plus other donations help meet the difference. We are intentional about not allowing finances to be a reason kids don’t attend camp, this is done by keeping rates low and by offering a scholarship program that covers most of the cost if needed by the family.‘ The camp director said the highest selling item was a Toro zero turn mower bringing in $4,000.
