Moultrie County Monthly Quarter Madness will hold their May Quarter Auction on Wednesday, May 8. The event will be held at the Sullivan American Legion. The charity of the month is the Widows Sons. They are an international charitable organization who are freemasons who also enjoy riding motorcycles. This chapter is a 501c3 non-profit organization and covers most of Central Illinois. Most of their fundraising goes to individuals and families in the community, but they also donate to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital and IMOS. Every penny they raise is spent on helping others.  

At the May Quarter Madness, vendors could include: Allie’s Gift and Garden, LLC; Scentsy, Hello Pink, Plunder Design, Titus Hog Farm, Tastefully Simple, Pampered Chef, Rodan & Fields, Thirty-One, and Avon plus different craft and food vendors with tumblers, t-shirts, wreaths, earrings, wind spinners, potholders, signs, garden stakes, décor, soy based candles and melties, freeze dried candies, and more. Bring your quarters for charity items and extra bidding. All-In-Paddle will be $20. Doors open at 6:00 and the Quarter Auction begins at 6:30. All ages are welcome to attend. Bubba’s Food Truck will be in the parking lot with food available for purchase. Drink purchases can be made through the Legion as well.
