Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions?

  1. How can Chiropractic help me?
  2. Does Acupuncture actually work? What does it do?
  3. What in the world is Reiki?
  4. Is HBOT really therapeutic or just an ineffectual placebo?
  5. Is Massage good for me or does it just feel nice?
  6. Is all the hype about Aromatherapy and Essential Oils true or just the latest fad?
  7. What will supplements and herbs do for me?
  8. How much of a role do diet and exercise really play in my wellness?

Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 26, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Learn about your health and the holistic health and wellness options available right here in Northwest Ohio at the 2015 “Passport to Health” Wellness Fair. This will be your opportunity to talk with people who deal with health from a different perspective than our traditional allopathic doctors.

QuarterMania FUNdraiser

QuarterMania FUNdraiser

On Thursday, August 6 Sara’s Garden will be hosting a QuarterMania FUNdraiser. This event will be a fun-filled benefit to raise funds for our handicap accessible playground project. There will be many area vendors to shop from. The event will feature auctions, raffles, and 50/50 drawings.

Event Date: Thursday, August 6, 2015
Event Location: The Hope Center at Sara’s Garden, Wauseon, Ohio
Event Time: Doors open at 5:30, Auction starts at 6:30

What is a QuarterMania?

If you are like us when we first heard of this, you are probably wondering, “What in the world is a QuarterMania event?”

A QuarterMania is a cross between an auction and a raffle where people ‘bid’ to win a product/prize of goods donated from local businesses and various home businesses participating in the event. Bids on these new items range from 1 to 4 quarters. There are usually between 40 and 60 items to auction during a QuarterMania.

When you arrive

When you arrive at the event, you will register and pick out a paddle (or several) with a number on each that is used for your individual bidding on the items you want to try to win. Paddles are $3 each or two for $5. All proceeds from paddle sales are donated directly to Sara’s Garden. 50/50 tickets are also available at this time.

How the auction works

The auctioneer begins by holding up a product and telling a little bit about the highlights and then tells everyone how much the item is going for – between 1 and 4 quarters. If you would like to bid on that item, you put the corresponding number of quarters in the collection pot then hold up your paddle(s) and wait for your number to be called.

Once all the bids are in – the auctioneer randomly selects a number. If your lucky paddle number is called and you have placed a bid , you WIN that item! Now, if you didn’t bid – you just say “no bid” and the auctioneer will re-shuffle the numbers and continue calling a number until someone who has placed a bid and is holding their paddle up wins.

It’s that simple, and it’s a load of fun!

That’s not all!

In addition to the biddings, there are 50/50 tickets and other raffle drawings going on throughout the evening. Tickets for raffle items will be $1 each or six for $5. Also, the participating businesses have a lots of specials as well as cash & carry items at their tables. Please stop by and support these individuals as these events would not be possible without them.

Food, desserts, and beverages will be available for a free will donation.

So… if you are ready for a fun-filled evening for a GREAT CAUSE, grab your QUARTERS and SOME FRIENDS and be there!

For more information on this event either as a participant or as a vendor, please contact Tina Whalen via email or phone at (419) 345-5302.
