Live Auction Items

OVPWCC’s live auction will be held during our Infield Party, which begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Paroquet Springs Conference Center*. (see our attached premium list for more information on the specialty and banquet).  ENTIRES CLOSE FOR THE 2024 OVPWCC SPECIALTY ON 2-28-2024.

Banquet tickets (our “Infield Party”)  are only available by pre-order on OVPWCC’s RSVP page – RSVP must be postmarked no later than March 1st.  If you’ve never been to our Infield Party, join us!  In addition to truly tasty food, there will be a limited Silent Auction at the banquet, lots of laughter and comradery and a chance to take home art made by some of the most talented artists in the Corgi community.

For those unable to attend, sealed bids will be accepted by Vicki Northway if received by March 12th.   Contact Vicki in a private message on Facebook or by email:  drifan@hotmail.com

1. Nautical print by renowned artist, Art Smith

If you are of a certain age and love corgis, you own an Art Smith painting or print . . . or you should!  It is as simple as that.  If you’d like to add a print with a nautical theme, come bid on this framed, matted, ready for your wall print.  While Art died in 2015, Art’s paintings and prints have been graciously donated  by this wife and corgi breeder Pat Sandy-Smith (SANDYSHIRE) to regional corgi clubs. We thank Pat for sharing Art’s work with our club . . . Think of this piece as “Listening to the Bark by the Bay”.

2. Jodie Marie custom pendant or broach

Jodi Marie’s artwork is stunning.  For those of you are unfamiliar with her painting, look closely at the attached photos.  These paintings are not just correct representations of each breed but a true portrait bursting with the personality of that individual dog.  You may not be able to afford an oil portrait for your living room of that special dog, but your bid can earn a broach or pendant that is just as meaningful. We thank Jodi for sharing her work with OVPWCC for its 2024 Live Auction.

3. Ruff Land two door medium crate

Ruff Land Kennels has established a reputation for safety and attractive design.  This year OVPWCC’s 2024 Live Auction will feature a dark gray, corgi- sized (Medium) crate.  Doors located on the front and back of the crate are hinged to open from either direction.  Justin Withrow, a vendor at the 2024 OVPWCC specialty, has donated this Ruff Land crate and will be on had to sell a variety of crates, leads, toys and other Follow Our Lead products.  Thank you, Justin, for your generosity.

4. Stained glass artwork by Yvette Huesler

Yvette Huesler has long been a friend of OVPWCC and her stained glass artwork has been the highlight of our live auction for years.  It is 29” X 16” including the frame.  Her work drives up the bids and creates excitement that is so much fun!  Special thanks to Gerald Kyle and Bruce Coyne for their donation of Yvette’s art to this year’s specialty.
