WELLFLEET, Mass. – Wellfleet Preservation Hall will conduct its Sixth Annual Birdhouse and Garden Auction on Sunday, July 14, 2013. A preview and silent auction will be held from 10-11 a.m., with the live auction starting at 11:15 a.m. A $15 admission fee includes Morning munchies, coffee and tea.

“The Birdhouse Project started with the idea of recycling some of the old materials from the building as part of a our green building project. Building a habitat from these materials for our nearest neighbors – the birds that inhabit the lovely garden park behind the hall – inspired a lot of creativity in the community. The birdhouses become little pieces of history from the hall,” said Anne Suggs, WPH founding board member.

Artists, artisans, builders, community members and woodworkers have been creating unique hand-painted and crafted designs for birdhouses and other garden-inspired art using recycled wood, tin and slate that were once part of Wellfleet Preservation Hall. This is the sixth year of the project that began as a fundraiser for the restoration of the building. Proceeds from the event now support ongoing programming at the two-year-old Community Cultural Center in the heart of Wellfleet center.

The birdhouse and garden art auction will take place in the garden behind Wellfleet Preservation Hall, 335 Main St, Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Cape Air, 3 Harbors Realty and Donna L. Drown, First Vice President – Financial Advisor, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney are the event’s sponsors.
