You’ve seen them all summer, and now it’s time to claim the one you love and take it home. Bid on your favorite 2022 Adirondack Chair at the Sandwich Arts Alliance Silent Auction taking place on Thursday, September 15th from 5:30-7:30 pm under the tent at the Sagamore Inn Restaurant on Route 6A in Sagamore.

 Free to the public, the auction promises to be an enjoyable evening for all who attend with refreshments served, live music provided by The Jimmy Ellis Experience, and the chance to bid on (or win!) one of the 28 artist-inspired Adirondack chairs that have spent the summer outside various sites and businesses in Sandwich. Guests can remain under the tent or dine at the Sagamore Inn and return later to check on their bids.

“It’s show time again! For our friends and supporters who cannot attend, you too can bid for your favorite chair through our online auction portal right up until the live silent auction!”, said SAA President, Kathy Aubin.

Online bidding begins September 1st at www.32auctions.com/SAAChairAuction. The ACT chair raffle will be held at the live auction and tickets can be purchased at the SAA Center & Gallery or at the event ($5 each or 3 for $10).

“This year, the auction is bigger and better with more chairs and more sponsors than ever before. If you are able, come and join us for a festive evening and celebrate our collaboration with our talented local artists and business sponsors”, added Aubin. “We’ll all be there, cheering on those who continue to contribute to our ongoing success. See you then!”

At the start of the Adirondack Chair Trail program, the artists and business owners were held in suspense until the “Big Reveal” in May when the chairs were matched with their sponsors. By Memorial Day the chairs were installed at their designated locations which attracted new customers and visitors to the businesses and organizations all season. Maps were available at the SAA Center and all 28 locations so that residents and tourists could take to the Trail and visit the chairs.

The Adirondack Chair Trail’s focus on artists, businesses, residents, and tourists of all ages, plays an important role in bringing our Sandwich community together, and for our volunteer- driven Sandwich Arts Alliance, an opportunity to help fund future programming and events.”
