For 37 years, Tin Mountain has hosted the First Season Dinner and Auction.  As one of Tin Mountain's premiere fundraising events, First Season provides funding for camp and college scholarships, environmental educational programs, outdoor recreation programs, community wide nature programs and naturalist-led field trips and conservation research programs.  This year's First Season Dinner will be held at the Old Saco Inn in N. Fryeburg on Saturday, March 18, 2023.  This will be the first time the dinner portion of First Season will be held since 2019, right before the Covid pandemic forced us to cancel the dinner portion and move the auction online.   In year's past we've welcomed about 400 people to  bid on almost 400 donated items.  This year's live auction and dinner will welcome 250 bidders and we'll also have the online portion of the auction for the week of March 18 - 26.  We realized that we had many folks from out of town that like to support Tin Mountain but are unable to attend the dinner.  The online auction allows us to  reach a wider audience.

All our donors are thanked in the full page thank you ad in the Conway Daily Sun and in Tin Mountain's annual report.  Donors are also indluded in the auction website, providing visibility to our donors and sponsors.
