Bidding is easy and watching the competition
is even more entertaining. All you do is write down how mu
ch you want to
bid on the items that interest you, and how we can contact you in case you are
the highest bidder.
The auction tables will be open from 7:00 PM
to 11:00 PM and each bidder is free to re-bid at any time – if someone outbids
you, you simply write down a higher bid the next time around. There’s no
limit on the number of times you bid.
The items available to bid on are many and
varied. We’ve had an amazing number of donations, but we’re still looking
for more. Contact PATA if you have something of value that you’d like to

Some will be for sale, some just to share. This is a great opportunity to meet artists who live and work right here in Manzanillo and see their talents.
Poker is great fun to watch (and play), there will be lots of bargains to grab at the auction, and there will be the original art to peruse. There's no entry fee; you're welcome to stroll through the art exhibit, the auction and the poker tables. On top of that, our wonderful hosts at the Oasis Beach Club will gladly serve you their great food and drinks.
