Live Auction Items
Prepare to join in the excitement of PACER Center's 2008 Live Auction!
Conducted in the Auditorium, directly before Earth, Wind & Fire’s performance, PACER’s Live Auction is legendary. As in years past, the 2008 Live Auction offers one-of-a-kind items and opportunities found nowhere else in the Twin Cities—or the world. Take a look below, and find the items that tickle your fancy and fantasy. (There may be more details and surprises when you arrive April 26!)
Playhouse is a Dream House
This “once upon a time” opportunity will inspire your child’s imagination while creating memories that will last a lifetime. This expertly crafted little log cottage could be the jewel of your backyard with its Dutch doors, dormer windows, sun porch, and open loft design. It boasts running water and electricity and is professionally accessorized with a child-sized chandelier and charming window treatments. Uniquely designed to be accessible for children with all abilities, your child’s new home away from home can accommodate a ramp, and is spacious enough for a wheelchair. There’s even an adult-sized door especially for you. If you play your cards right, you may be invited in for a game of Go Fish or perhaps a tea party! The playhouse measures 11' 8" W x 13' 6" L x 9' 7" H.
