Mini-Auction for Scholarships for Cloudland High School
Graduates
Roan Mountain Citizens Club has presented the annual
Rhododendron Festival since 1947.
This year we're trying something new: Each half hour
during stage entertainment--10 a.m. till 5 p.m. Saturday
and Sunday, June 21-22, we'll auction items donated by
Festival arts and crafts and food vendors, and also
those donated by people in our Roan Mountain community.
If items remain after 5 p.m. we'll continue the auction
until all have been sold.
Each year Citizens Club awards a scholarship, renewable
for up to 4 years, to a deserving CHS graduate.
Currently there are 4 students attending college and
receiving these, and several have graduated.
We hope this auction will give our vendors and local
business owners an outlet for advertising while perhaps
introducing new customers to them. We hope you'll
participate!
Auctioneer will be Bill Caraway, who will also be Master
of Ceremonies for the Festival. You may have heard or
seen Bill's interviews about the Rhododendron Festival
on radio or television. We credit those interviews for
increasing Festival attendance last year by several
thousand, to 20,000!
If you'd like to donate a gift certificate or item, we
could pick that up, or you could mail to Citizens Club,
P.O. Box 545, Roan Mtn., TN 37687.
We hope you'll pull together with us to assist our local
students.
If you have any questions, feel free to you our
