Looking for auction WOW factor!
March 11, 2011 3:33 PM   Subscribe

I am putting together a Seahawk Tailgate Party for a high school booster club auction. The party is for 20 people, on a Sunday Seahawk game. The party includes brats, buns, chips, cookies, beer, soda (to be delivered for a game day party) So far in the auction item, I have a 5L keg of beer, the Seahawks party goods, plates, napkins, tattoos. What else can you think of the make this item look great. Can you think of an interesting container for auction presentation? Looking for wow factor at a low cost. Thank you!

Best answer: How about one of those little portable charcoal grills? Would everything fit in there? You could even add a bag of charcoal to sweeten the pot.

Best answer: A couple of these in the right colour (licenced merch would probably be too expensive)

A flag or banner to decorate the party site?

Best answer: If this is for a high school auction, I would not include the keg of beer. Even if it is parents bidding.

Response by poster: I found in my garage a brand new small BBQ with a handy carrying case and accessories, thank you for that suggestion~ toofewshoes

I will find some cute blue gear to add for color punch and an inexpensive pennant is a great idea~davey-darling.

Thanks for your input~JohnnyGunn, it is an adult only, not on school grounds event, the money benefits the kids, not the items. I have seen auctions where they sell wine and beer at the school, which 1) is against the law 2) tells the kids it is ok to break rules if you are adults and 3) is a bad idea in general

I also added blue Doritos bags and an amusing Wikipedia explanation of Tailgating.
