It won\u2019t be long now until the Tyrone Area Community Organization\u2019s Annual Radio Auction is upon us.
\nThe auction, which is the organization\u2019s largest fundraiser of the year, is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, February 10 and 11, and a growing number of auction items is accumulating in The Daily Herald office window.
\nThe radio auction will be aired live over WTRN 1340 AM. Saturday, February 10, the auction is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:30 a.m., after the morning news. Sunday, February 11, the auction is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
\nFor that weekend, The Daily Herald office will once again be transformed into the headquarters for the TACO Radio Auction, where the items and the phone lines will be located.
\nIndividuals can participate by listening to TACO members describe the items over the airwaves, and if anyone is interested in bidding on an item, they may simply call 684-4000; 684-4001 or 684-4603 with an offer.
\nListeners should tune in all day, as the order of the large items will be given at different times. TACO members do not know the exact time items will be auctioned off, so those interested should listen all day.
\nItems can currently be viewed at The Daily Herald window in downtown Tyrone.
\nApproximately 315 businesses and organizations have been contacted for possible participation in the auction. All businesses are encouraged to participate.
\nDonations are currently being accepted and may be in the form of merchandise, a gift certificate, or a monetary donation. In exchange for a donation for the radio auction, the business will be promoted live over WTRN. If a business or individual donates more than one item, they will receive more airtime on the radio.
\nSo far, TACO has received an assortment of gift certificates, merchandise and cash donations, with many more items to come. An updated list will be printed in a future Daily Herald edition.
\nThe money TACO raises from the auction helps to fund the projects the service organization sponsors for the Tyrone community throughout the coming year.
\nChairpersons for the TACO Radio Auction include: president, Ruth Brower; vice president, Dave Kaup; Buddy Daughenbaugh and Tim Kirkpatrick.
\nIf anyone has questions or donations, contact Buddy and Ruth at 684-3386, Dave at 684-1592 (after 3 p.m.) or Tim at 684-0704.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
