UPDATE:
I removed some of the photos to make it easier on folks with slow connections. The photos are still available if someone wants to see a pic of one of the buckets.
The fund-raiser was very successful using only 17 of the 30 buckets that were donated. Thank you to everyone for your continued support of the Pember.

Here are photos of the sap buckets donated to the Pember for the fund-raising auction which will be taking place at the Salem Court House on Saturday, March 28.
Only a portion of these will be in the auction on Saturday. The remaining buckets will be auctioned off at a later date as part of the Pember’s 100th anniversary celebration.
The auction begins at 6 PM with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash wine bar at 5PM. There is no admission fee but there will be a $2 paddle charge for those wishing to bid on the buckets.
I have my favorites. Which one(s) do you like best?
Searles sap house would be my favorite pick. The fine detail in the tree branches impressed me, also the choice of bright colors. There were many great buckets to choose from. And it was nice to see the all the talent, and the support towards the Pember.
I have a hard time choosing. I have three favorites and I can’t decide – it’s a tie: the Denim, Junkyard Cat, and the Pember are my choices.
The tiger one is nice, also the bucket with flowers and the cover with the pancakes.
