Purchasing a Barrel-- The silent auction
|
The silent auction is held in the tents adjacent to the barrel display at the Carmel Farmers Market on the third Saturday in August (August 17th 2019). Each barrel will have a sheet where you can write down your bid, name, and phone number. Bids are accepted starting at 8am and through 11am. The highest bid on each barrel at 11am will be the winner. We encourage you to be present at 11am to check or increase your bid if there is a barrel you are set on winning. Payment is due at the conclusion of the auction and you will take immediate possession of the barrel. You can make bids on behalf of others, with their permission, but please know that full payment is due at the conclusion of the auction and we cannot hold barrels for later pick up. Please see the rules below.

Each barrel has been coated with a clear protectant, however, we recommend:
- Adding additional layers of clear protectant, as you see fit.
- Bringing the barrel indoors during the winter months.
- Strategic placement of the barrel to maintain the artwork if desired.
- Consideration of the fact that no exterior art piece can last forever. While the barrel will always serve as a water conservation tool, the artwork should not be expected to maintain its current condition after extended exposure to sun, rain, and temperature fluxes.
