Farm Fest 2021
Sunday, September 12th
3-7pm
At the Historic Hill Farm site on Red Barn Road!
We are excited to announce there will be a "Farm Fest" this year!
Extra precaution will be in place for the safety of our attendees and volunteers. Hand sanitizer and hand washing stations will be available throughout the farm, and we ask attendees to wear a mask when inside the barn for the silent auction. Help us make Farm Fest safe for everyone.
The Hill Farm Historical Society's Farm Fest SILENT AUCTION is this Sunday, Sept 12 from 3:00 to 6:30pm, in the barn.
There are over 75 wonderful donated items and experiences for you!
NEW this year is the 'Buy It Now' option. Instead of missing out on all the fun, food and activities at Farm Fest, there will be 40 items that are available to immediately buy...this means you will not have to keep checking the bid sheets to see if you have been outbid. Bring the item and bid sheet to our check out desk near the granary doors, pay for it at the 'Buy It Now' price, and walk out knowing that it is yours.
Cash, check (preferred) and credit cards are accepted for all items.
If you need to leave Farm Fest before the auction closes and you are the winning bidder, we will contact you and you can pick up the item on Tuesday evening, Sept 14th from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Machine Shop at the Hill Farm.
We have a new and exciting offer this year! White Collar Catering and Blue Collar BBQ (http://www.bluecollarbarbeque.com) has donated an Evening of Great Food and Wonderful Wines at their new restaurant in Lexington, just a few miles from North Oaks. This is a 5 course dinner for 10 people, with carefully selected wines with each course. The bidding starts at $700, so get your guest list ready for this fun outing with friends or family.
Please see below for additional silent auction items available:
Mari and Doug Harpur, on behalf of the North Oaks Company, have contributed a fascinating reproduction of a 38" x 42" map of North Oaks painted in the 1930's by artist Robert Osborn to the Farm Fest silent auction. It depicts the farm as it was in the 1930's and the social activities of the four children of Louis Hill, Sr.: Louis Jr., Maudie, Jerome and Cortlandt. Starting bid is $5,000
Commonwealth Properties have donated a two night stay at their fantastic Stout's Island Lodge - yes it is located on an island about 2 hours from North Oaks in Birchwood, WI. This is a stunningly beautiful historic lodge. You will be transported back to the time of the lumber barons, with updated modern lodge amenities. Check out this video of the property and see the photos below: https://www.stoutsislandlodge.com/ This wonderful item is a $700 value.
