The community has the chance to bid on the decorated buoys that adorned the first ever buoy tree in Padanaram.

The hand-decorated buoys were created by area residents who were given free rein to display their creativity. 

Proceeds of the auction will benefit the Dartmouth Mom’s Group at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church to fund future community events and Dartmouth United Outreach, which provides fresh food every week to area families. 

The auction runs through Dec. 15. 

Buoys up for bid can be viewed and bid on at galabid.com/buoytree.
