Lions’ Radio Auction March 13-15

Nearly 160 items will be up for grabs when the Rayne Lions Club stages its annual three-night Radio Auction beginning Monday, March 13.
Headquartered in the conference room at the Rayne Chamber of Commerce offices at 107 W. Oak St., the auction will be broadcast over Pure Country 106.7 FM and KSIG 1450 AM radio from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. each night.
The Lions will be auctioning off everything from bar tabs to gift certificates to favorite area restaurants, from steak dinners to sacks of crawfish, from oil changes to portalette rentals and all you have to do is listen in and call 334-2332 or 334-8341 to bid on items.
Each night will feature a number of “all-night” items on which bids will be accepted until 9:30 p.m.
