Today marks the second day of Burlington’s own Intervale Center Online Auction, which remains open for bidding through September 30th and open for donations through September 18th.

Unlike most traditional auctions, 100% of the profits from this one will stay local, providing support for Intervale Center programs such as farming, local food systems and the upkeep of the Intervale’s 350+ acres of land and trails. And it’s all online, so you don’t have to worry about a pounding migraine induced by an old man with a dreadfully monotone voice saying “Going Once, Going Twice…”

Auction items include foodstuffs and gift certificates from local farms and restaurants, a weekend getaway to a waterfront Condo in Massachusetts, a signed copy of environmentalist Bill McKibben’s “Places from an Active Life”, an hour massage with Alora Grooms, and a 2-year supply of Intervale Compost, among many others.

As of today, the Auction has raised $2,127.00 with a total of 94 bids. To get your virtual bid on, visit http://www.cmarket.com/auction/AuctionHome.action?vhost=intervalecenter.
