Published February 22nd, 2009
Tim’s, Inc. – will hold its 17th annual Cabin Fever Auction on Saturday, March 28, at the Litchfield Firehouse on Route 202 in Litchfield, beginning at 11:30 a.m. “We call it the Cabin Fever Auction because folks need a good reason to come out of their homes at the end of winter,” Tim Chapulis said, “and we give one to them.”
The Cabin Fever Auction is easily Tim’s biggest and most important sale on its calendar. “It takes over a year of planning to pull off this one-day special event,” Mr. Chapulis said. “It’s a must for collectors, dealers, investors, decorators and homeowners.” The sale will feature fresh-to-the-market items from area homes, estates and private collections. A preview will be held the morning of the sale.
Admission to the auction and preview will come in the form of a donation to the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, in memory of Peter W. Chapulis, Tim’s late father. To date, nearly $17,000 has been raised for the charity. Terms for the auction are a 15 percent buyer’s premium for cash and known checks, and 18 percent for all major credit cards. There will be a $50 charge for any returned checks.
The Litchfield Fire House is located at 258 West St. (Rte. 202) in Litchfield, Conn. The event will be catered by Don Giovanni Restaurant (please, no outside food or drink).
