In its twenty-third year, the annual Clarita School Consignment Auction is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 11, in Clarita, Okla.

The event takes place each year in the outskirts of the unincorporated community located in the south central part of the state.

Set to begin at 8 a.m., the one-day gathering is open to the public and is held at the Ben Troyer Farm.

In addition to the auction of 100-plus handmade quilts, members of the area’s Amish community will be selling antiques, livestock, baked goods, furniture, hand tools, and more.

According to event officials, baked good and lunch stand sales—along with all commissions—will go to the Clarita Amish School.

Luann Waters, a 15-year attendee of the auction, shared the following six tips to navigating the annual event.

1. Arrive early: be on-site no later than 8 a.m. Get directions here.

2. Wear comfortable shoes: walking is required to see everything.

3. Prioritize prior to arrival: decide what’s personally important to see first. For example—participation in all auctions requires a bidder number which should be acquired upon arrival. Note—signing up for a bidder number places you on a mailing list to receive auction information the following year.

4. Purchase food items early: (a) to avoid lines, and (b) vendors tend to sellout as the day progresses.

5. Take a camera: while it is permissible to take photos of the quilts, it is advised to ask permission prior to photographing any crafted items, and the actual Amish people themselves.

6. Take spending money: in addition to a $2 parking fee (per vehicle), breakfast, and lunch are served; checks, cash, and credit cards (Visa & MasterCard) are accepted.
