The auction will be held at the Dunmore Community Center. The quilt is the 77th of its kind to be sold at the auction. The first quilt was made by Ada “Granny” Grimes in the 1940s. This years quilt consists of 20 squares made by members of the church and Dunmore community. All proceeds from the sale benefit the church.
