Auction
Auction
Raise your hand to bid on one of these unique experiences:
- Extra! Extra!: EG-based Verdi Productions is filming a movie in Rhode Island this fall, and you and a guest can join the production for a day. Meet the cast and crew, enjoy a tour of the set, and appear as an extra in the film.
- Sliding Capos Show: The Sliding Capos regularly pack the house at the Updike Room in the Greenwich Hotel. Now they’re coming to your house! Be the winning bidder, and a trimmed-down, intimate version of the band will play at your private event.
- The Odeum, All to Yourself: The Greenwich Odeum hosts hundreds of guests for concerts and comedy, but you can enjoy the historic theater without the crowd. Your winning bid gets you and nine guests a behind-the-scenes tour, a private movie screening (complete with drinks and snacks), and your message on the marquee.
- Flying High: See the Ocean State, from the air! Enjoy a one-hour scenic flight or an introductory flying lesson with a licensed flight instructor from 41° North Aviation. You and a guest will take off from Quonset State Airport and then take in the amazing views of Newport, coastal Rhode Island, and nearby Massachusetts.
- Meet the Winemaker: Oregon winemaker Vincent Fritzsche—youngest brother of editor Elizabeth McNamara!—owns Vincent Wines, where he works with sustainably-farmed vineyards around the Willamette Valley to produce signature pinot noirs, as well as pinot blancs and chardonnays. On a visit to Rhode Island, Vincent will guide you and up to 7 of your guests through a tasting of his fine wines, paired with charcuterie from Graze on Main. Host your private tasting in Graze’s cozy wine cellar or in your own home!
- Spread the Word on Studio 10: Promote your business, event or cause with a four-minute segment on WJAR’s lifestyle show, Studio 10. Record your segment after August 15, and it will air at least once on WJAR and will appear online at turnto10.com. WJAR will promote your segment on its social media channels, and you can share the link anywhere you like.
