“Bid Bonjour” – 22nd Annual Bidding Bonanza
Oswego, NY- Dozens of Oswego students, faculty, and community members attended the 22nd annual Bidding Bonanza at Sheldon Hall last Thursday.
Bidding Bonanza, or “Bid Bon,” is an auction run by students and resident mentors in Johnson Hall’s FYRE program. This yearly event raises money for the hall’s scholarship, which current residents can apply for.
“It’s really awesome because everyone comes out.” Resident Mentor Bowden Drake-Deese said. “We work on it (basically) all of second semester. It’s the first thing we talk about when all the R.M.’s come together at the beginning of training.”
The auction consisted of various services, products, and prizes provided by generous donors. Many students and community menbers won items like gift baskets, show tickets, and autographed pictures. They were also served baguettes and macaroons served by students as a part of this year’s theme.
“We’re calling it Bid Bonjour.” Resident Mentor Cindy Pietrakowski said. “We have a little persian town over by the stage with two eifell towers.”
