COVID-19 has forced the cancellation of two major fundraisers at the Capitol Centre this year including the popular Hops & Vines gala.

But, because the silent auction portion of the event is always a hit officials are holding the Hops & Vines Virtual Auction.

Almost 100 local businesses have donated items.

The auction site goes live Thursday and ends on November 30th. Last year’s silent auction raised nearly $10,000.

Revenue generated from the event will assist with operating costs at the Capitol Centre.

Here’s the full event details:
