The Spring Benefit Auction is right around the corner and we will be celebrating 50 years of HCA auctions! Catalogs have been mailed to all HCA members and to non-members who participated in our auctions the past few years.  A copy of the catalog and a searchable PDF version are included on this webpage in case you haven’t received the mailed copy yet.  We hope everyone enjoys the wide array of items available this year.

This year’s auction will be held in-person and on-line.  This provides an exciting opportunity for those unable to attend in person to participate and find a treasure or two to add to their collection.  The online portion of the auction will be hosted by HiBid.  Instructions on establishing a HiBid account and registering for the auction are included on this webpage.

For those of you who are a little computer-shy, absentee bidding will be available.  Instructions and the Absentee Bid Form are also included on this webpage.

The annual Spring Benefit Auction is the largest fundraiser for the National Heisey Glass Museum so we hope to see you in April, in-person or virtually.  And, remember, bid high and bid often in support of your museum.
