Ryland 4-H Club members are auctioning off these beautiful Nature Pinch Pots that they created at their May club meeting! These pots are the perfect size to hold jewelry or small trinkets. Any money raised from this auction will be used to purchase supplies for future club meetings.

How It Works: Each image is labeled with the 4-Her that created that pinch pot (same pot pictured at two angles). If you'd like to place a bid on a pot, simply enter your bid in the comment section of that particular pot. Bidding will run until 12:00PM on Tuesday, May 14th. The person with the highest bid at the end of the auction will be contacted via Messenger to arrange pick up.
