An Auction for the Arts

Block of Art 2012 will soon be here and with it will come a number of new events. One of these is the art auction planned for Sunday, April 22 at the Sovereign Majestic Theatre. The art for the auction will be able to be viewed in the special auction gallery during the first two days of the Block of Art. A silent auction will also be held at the gallery.

Those in attendance at the auction will be able to bid on and take home some excellent local art. The best part is that they will also be supporting the Block of Art and the Sovereign Majestic Theatre. Come support the arts, the artists and the theatre on this afternoon of artistic enjoyment.

Hawk Mountain Feed the Birds

Hawk Mountain Sanctuary from 11 am to 3 pm. Activities will be free but a trail fee applies for non members. Feed the Birds is a full day event focused on common winter birds and how to help them survive our coldest season. For birds, winter can be a dangerous time due to low temperatures and ice, longer nights and lack of insects, berries and other foods. Providing seed can help birds survive while also attracting a mix of wild birds to backyard bird feeding stations. For more information, call 610-756-6961 or visit www.hawkmountain.org.

Swatara Village Homes for Sale

Note that the MLS link above is a live search. If a property is sold or marked “pending” (meaning under contract) it will not appear in the MLS search. This kind of link (called an IDX feed) is more accurate than searching for homes on Trulia or Zillow, as that information is not a “live” feed and the info can be outdated or inaccurate.

Active homes listed by all Schuylkill MLS real estate brokers are included in the above search.
