What is a Chinese Auction:
A masked Gonger starts and stops the festivities every few minutes while guest’s interested in bidding on items toss a coin into a bucket located at their table then hold up numbered wooden cues high in the air bidding on weekend getaways, golf, spa packages, and more.  The event is fun and lively as the master of ceremonies keeps the Gonger and auctionees on a fast-paced track throughout the evening.

All members of the media are invited to the event just RSVP to Nina Zapala at: nzapala@fareedandzapala.com or call 407.629.0757
