CATRA-THON
CATRA-Thon is a day when riders, family members, volunteers, and friends come together and have fun while supporting the Capital Area Therapeutic Riding Association. We watch riders on horses, smile at the mini horse parade, discover treasures at the silent auction, and eat great food. Make plans to join us; It won’t be complete without you.

WHAT’S A SILENT AUCTION?
A silent auction differs from a “live” auction because there’s no auctioneer and bids are made silently. The items to be auctioned are placed on tables in the indoor ring for viewing. Each item includes a bidding sheet which has a brief description of the item, a starting bid, a minimum bid increase, and blank lines used to offer bids. If you’ve found an item you want, write down your name, and your bid.
WATCH THOSE BIDS
Throughout the afternoon, keep an eye on those bid sheets to be sure to stay in the running!
GREAT GIFT IDEAS
The silent auction is a signature event at CATRA-Thon and a great way to get a jump on Holiday shopping! Tables upon tables are arranged with gift baskets, games, household items, and many one-of-a-kind treasures. CATRA’s silent auction runs on donations.
CATRA-Thon ‘Food Court’ serves up delicious hot dogs, hamburgers, soups, cupcakes, brownies. The list goes on and on. There’s always plenty to eat at CATRA-Thon.
Best Chicken BBQ in Town
In order to allow for preparation, the chicken BBQ must be pre-ordered and can be picked up during CATRA-Thon. Don’t miss out on this event specialty! Chicken Dinners are $12.00. Pre-order your chicken dinners now.
