Triple Auction to benefit McDonough’s Union Cemetery
McDONOUGH – The second annual Triple Auction to benefit the Village of McDonough Union Cemetery maintenance fund will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday at McDonough Town Hall.
Hosted by the McDonough Women’s Club, the event pulled in $1,200 last year, which was used to enrich the Union Cemetery’s trust fund. This year, it was determined that the cemetery’s maintenance fund was in dire need of support.
The doors will open for the auction at 6 p.m. to receive items for the white elephant auction and the silent auction. People are invited to bring in usable goods to donate for both auctions. A big part of the auction is the baked goods and the group has been known to sell pies for $25 to $30 at the regular auctions.
“People decide how much they would like to donate to the cemetery and bid accordingly,” said McDonough Women’s Club member Patricia Ford. “Everyone has an awfully good time.”
The cemetery is an important part of the McDonough community. Many a revered progenitor has been laid to rest in the five or so acre plot with tombstones dating back to the mid-1800s. During the Memorial Day celebration, people return to the area from all over. Anywhere from 500 to 600 people are expected to pack into the Union Cemetery again this year.
“Our main goal is to remember those in our family who passed away and to keep the cemetery in tip-top shape,” said Ford. “We would like to invite anyone who would like to come. You don’t have to bring anything, but it’s appreciated if you do.”
