Art on Main auction set for Thursday in Wauconda

Wauconda's Art on Main live auction featuring celebrity auctioneer and local barber Will Tremont will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 7, at the farmers market.

Aldo Leopold benches, known to be the perfect seat for bird watching, are featured. There also will be 15 art pieces in all, sponsored by various businesses and organizations, with local artists lending their talent.

Proceeds benefit beautification efforts on Main Street and beyond. The benches are displayed on Main Street from Slocum Lake Road to Route 176. The benches were custom made by Steven Stiller, son of the late Steve Stiller, a beloved carpenter for many past art exhibits.
