Pikes Peak Historical Society Preserving the history of Florissant and the Pikes Peak western slope

AUCTION SATURDAY OCTOBER 21, 2017, 2 PM AT THE LAKE GEORGE CHARTER SCHOOL

The 2017 auction will be at the Lake George Charter School gym/auditorium.   We will have a snack lunch and drinks for sale by a group of school students during your pre-auction viewing walkthrough starting at noon.  The school entrance road (the purple tear-drop marker, #1) is on the south side of Highway 24 just 2/10 mile west of the Ferrell propane lot and only 3 or 4 minutes west of Florissant.

We are now accepting items donated to the PPHS for the auction, our major fundraising effort.  All donations must be clean, in good condition, and complete.  PPHS must reserve the right to otherwise utilize your donations if they are not suitable for the auction.  Please remember: NO appliances, large furniture, mattresses, bedding, pillows, or blankets. A new hand -made quilt would be welcome.  Sorry but we cannot accept electronic items.  Gift certificates from local or out-of-town stores, merchants, guides, or other specialty businesses with which you have a relationship are also a good idea.

Gifts utilizing your special talents are a superb donation and a strong benefit.  Examples are custom baked goods, automobile detailing, mineral collecting trips, guided local history tours, quilting instruction or special dinners in your home.   Our members have many talents.  Cash donations are also very welcome and if you choose that, please check with employers to see if they will match your donation.

If you have specific questions about your donation, or for hauling help please call:

This is a reminder of the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon set for noon on
Saturday September 16 at the Florissant Library.  The Board is hoping that
everybody who helped as a docent, highway cleanup, cemetery cleanup/mapping,
museum cleanup/grass trim, recording CMT information or otherwise
volunteered this year will be able to attend.  We have had a good year for
PPHS and want to thank you volunteers for your efforts.  We just need
volunteers to attend!  Dress is casual and we hope everyone will have a
relaxed meal with us.   We’ll have fried chicken, pulled pork on bun plus
side dishes and dessert provided by the Board.
