Welcome to the
2007 Coyote Melon Festival
Benefit Events
A yearly feature of the Festival is a benefit auction during
Sunday’s activities. 100% of the proceeds from this auction go to Feed
the Children, a well-known charitable organization which
provides meals for impoverished children across the
The artwork and other items for this auction come from generous artists and merchants throughout our community and the surrounding areas. In particular, we seek one-of-a-kind donations of art & craft items from area artists. No gift is too small, and every contribution is greatly appreciated. Should you decide to contribute, your donation will be put to a wonderful use. Donors who fill out the auction information sheet will receive a thank you letter & receipt from Feed The Children for their tax deductible contribution. In addition, you will receive the added benefit of publicizing your talent. All donors are listed in the Festival program, along with their contact information and a description of their work.
This year's auction will take place at 12:30 PM on Sunday, with the enthusiastic services of John as auctioneer. John is the owner and operator of Yesterday's Restaurant and hotel, a colorful landmark establishment in nearby Chloride, AZ .
