If you’ve been eyeing one of the fabulous additions to the Bearfootin’ Art catalogue as they’ve spent their summer in downtown, now is your chance to take it home!
The much loved bears make their final appearance together on Main Street each fall during the Bearfootin’ Auction at the Historic Courthouse Square. This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday October 25th registration and live entertainment beginning at 2:30 pm.
The auction takes place each year to raise funds for a variety of local non-profits, including the City of Hendersonville’s Main Street Program. Last year alone the Bearfootin’ Public Art Auction raised nearly $20,000 for local non-profits and the Main Street Program and we want to have an even larger impact in our 12th represented by a Bear include everyone from Council on Aging for Henderson County to Interfaith Assistance Ministry to the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County and everything in between. Overall there are more than 20 local non-profits represented. So whether you are motivated to support downtown and your favorite local non-profit or you’ve just simply fallen in love with one of this year’s Bearfootin’ Art Bears, the Auction is for you!
This year’s event entertainment is local favorite Emily Bodley who begins at 2:30 pm on the Historic Courthouse Square in downtown Hendersonville. Bidder registration will also begin at this time with the Live Auction beginning at 4:30 pm.
