To raise funds for its museum’s operating expenses in 2023, the Hamburg Township Historical Society is hosting an online auction, set for Nov. 11-18, 2022.
“We’ll be working with Bidding for Good again on this effort,” said Patricia Majher, the museum’s administrator. “We are hoping to repeat the success we had last year.”
The process began with the society’s board members soliciting businesses in the Hamburg/Brighton/Pinckney area for donated products and services. The gathered items ended up ranging in price from a $15 gift card to Mimi’s Diner to a private wine-tasting party for 8 valued at $450. “That’s a price range almost anyone can afford to bid on,” Majher said.
Among the most coveted items are a “cookie crawl” of Brighton bakeries, a Chain of Lakes boat tour, and a Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge package.

“If people don’t find anything they’re interested in,” Majher said, “we hope they’ll contribute by making an online donation.“
The auction will officially open at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, and conclude at 10 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18.
Sponsors of the auction include Bank of Ann Arbor, Bennett’s Beavers, CEI Michigan LLC, and Flexible Metal Inc.
