The SLAA Annual Auction is one of the most popular events each year, thanks to the generosity of our members. This year, we're taking the auction online again - help us make it better than ever by donating an item!

Would your company consider making a donation to support our efforts? Items as varied as gift certificates, complimentary passes or tickets, merchandise, gift baskets, private tours, services and more are sought to create exciting auction items.

A portion of the proceeds from the auction benefit the Carole Moody Scholarship Fund, which is awarded annually to a high school senior or undergraduate college student majoring in a field that contributes to the tourism/hospitality industry.

The fall and holiday seasons are the perfect time to visit Eckert’s Country Store and Farms in Belleville. They host Ecktoberfest each Saturday and Sunday through October, where folks can pick apples and pumpkins, enjoy live entertainment, and have fun at the children’s carnival. In November, Eckert’s will host Breakfast with Santa on the weekends starting on the 19th and cut-your-own Christmas trees begins on that day as well. While there, make sure to stop by the Cider Shed which opened earlier this year!
