The Arizona Wildlife Federation (AWF), in cooperation with the Arizona Game and Fish Dept., will host an estate auction to sell items that were willed to the organizations upon the death of Patti Ho, a life-long supporter of wildlife in Arizona.
The event is set for April 26th, from 2 pm to 7 pm at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility Activity Center, 4044 W. Black Canyon Blvd., in Phoenix. The auction preview & Dutch-oven meal provided by Cowgirls Forever will run from 2 pm to 6 pm. The estate and tag auction will run from 4 pm to 7 pm.
The auction items include: guns, trophy mounts & hides, a full-size truck & horse trailer, Western memorabilia, & much more. Two very unique items for auction include one javelina & one bear special season big-game tag.
A limited number of tickets are available for this very special auction at $10 per adult, $6 per child under age 12. Your ticket includes dinner, a bidding number, & live entertainment from cowboy poets & western singers. A portion of the proceeds will go to both the AWF & the department. The department portion will help support habitat & general programs.
To get to the Ben Avery Shooting Facility, take I-17 to the Carefree Highway exit (Exit 223) & go west 1/4 mile on Carefree Highway to the Ben Avery entrance. Follow the road into the range grounds until you reach the Activity Center.
