How to place a bid in the Live Auction?

If you attend in person, you will be given a bidder number at registration. When you want to bid on an item, raise your bid card so that the auctioneer can see you.

If you are participating virtually, telephone bidding allows you to still be able to bid in the Live Auction. Please call Carousel Ranch ahead of time with your maximum bid. With telephone bidding, a member of the auctions team will call you during the auction. They will advise you as to where the bidding is, including all competing bids as they are received, and they will bid on your behalf with your instructions. This will carry on until you are successful, or tell us that you want to stop bidding. Your MAX BID must be in by AUGUST 23rd at 6PM.

What do I need to stream the live event?

To watch our live event, you will need a device that can stream on YouTube. In addition to your computer, phone, or tablet, you can watch YouTube on any smart TV. If you do not have the ability to play the YouTube app on your television, you can connect your laptop to your TV wirelessly or with an HDMI cord. For further technical assistance, please contact Carousel Ranch. Our Tech Support is available to work with every guest to create the perfect at home experience.

Will there still be a Silent Auction?

Yes! This year's silent auction will be completely online. You'll be able to bid on auction items directly from your phone! Our online auction includes entertainment, hotels, health and wellness, gift certificates to local restaurants, wine and more.

How do I get my dinner the night of the event?

How will I watch the children’s demonstration?
