Online Auction to support victims of Juniper Drive fire

SEELEY LAKE - Local artist Donna DaCosta (Mosaics by Donna, @mosaicsbydonna) is hosting an online auction starting 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 1 through 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 3 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/seeley.lake.fire.auction/ to help alleviate some of the financial stress of the families affected by the fire in downtown Seeley Lake July 22. All proceeds will be divided equally and sent directly to the families.

DaCosta donated several items for the auction as well as received donations from other artists. Previews of donated items are in a highlight on the auction page.

If planning to shop, please read the Instagram post for instructions to ensure a fair auction. Bids will need to be in a new comment and not in a reply to a previous comment. Winners will be sorted by “Top Comments First.” The person with the highest bid wins the right to purchase the item. DaCosta will contact the winners of the items following the close of the auction. Items will be shipped to you or other pick-up options will be arranged once payment is received.
