Silent Auction & Shopping at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering

Western Vintage Revival pendant donated to 2012 Silent AuctionStop by the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering Silent Auction in the lobby of the Elko Convention Center and place your bids on the many exciting items that we have received from our supporters and artists! You will find original art, handcrafts and western gear, special wine, and a beautiful cowboy-design quilt among the articles.

In addition to the wide variety of wonderful items to bid on at the Silent Auction in the Lobby of the Elko Convention Center, at this year's Gathering are highlighted items in our National Cowboy Poetry Gathering Gift Shop located at the Ruby Room including “Western Vintage Revival” featuring decidedly feminine and elegant broken china jewelry handcrafted by artist Jacqueline Smiley. You won't be able to resist taking a piece home! Our featured pendant donated by Jaquè to the 28th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering Silent Auction places the Ruby Mountain Reel from 2009 Gathering in a sterling silver surround, with three 18" coral, turquoise, sterling silver, and white buffalo turquoise bead strands. The winning bidder on this item in the Silent Auction will choose from one of the three strands.
