Residents and visitors on the Gunflint Trail are deeply grateful for our Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Department (GTVFD) that has been responding to fires, medical emergencies, and search and rescue along the Trail since 1992!
The Mid-Trail Property Owners Association is proud to raise funds each year to support their services among us. Our fundraiser will be held on Wednesday, August 8, 2018, at Fire Hall #1 (Mid-Trail). There will be a flea market and boutique from 12:00-4:00 p.m., and the live auction will begin at 1:30 p.m. under the big tent. A drawing for the beautiful “Cabin Life” quilt (Queen coverlet, 93” X 102”) handmade by the Mid-Trail Quilters Group will take place mid-way through the live auction.
You can help this event raise funds for our volunteer fire department in these ways: Tell as many people as possible about the auction/flea market and “bring” them along to attend the event on August 8.
Donate quality items for the flea market. Our flea markets have had many interesting donations —from artwork, bikes, housewares, motors, boats, cabin décor, and everything in between! We do not accept clothing. Donated items will be received on August 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. at Fire Hall #1.
And encourage people to buy quilt raffle tickets! Raffle tickets will be sold at various Gunflint Trail businesses before the fundraiser (including on the weekend at Trail Center from 12-6) and will be available at the event. Tickets are $5 or 3 tickets for $10. You need not be present to win.
So come to the auction for your chance to bid on incredible items and experiences! You can shop for yourself, or buy something for a friend. Thank you for showing the GTVD your support by helping raise vital funding!
