The Schoeneck Fire Company mud sale and quilt auction planned in 2020 was canceled, and the event was not held in 2021. But for 2022, the mud sale is back, and organizers have planned a variety of auction items and foods for the day of the event. The Schoeneck Fire Company, 125 N. King St., Denver, will host the mud sale and quilt auction on Saturday, April 16. The event will begin at 9 a.m., with the quilt auction opening at 11 a.m.

"We have lawn and garden tools, and we have toys and pedal tractors," said sale organizer David High, adding that outdoor items such as potting soil and bird feed will also go over the block, along with a shed, plants, bushes, and shrubbery. "We hope to have tools," stated High, who noted that manual scooters, craft items and about 25 themed baskets will be among the items to be auctioned.

The sale is known for including a variety of patterns and colors of quilts, and High said this year organizers hope to have at least 50, including full- and queen-size, along with wall hangings.

Having a variety of foods available for purchase is a tradition at the mud sale. This year, food items will include homemade doughnuts, which are made on-site, along with soft pretzels and chicken barbecue meals. Sub sandwiches, ham and cheese sandwiches, and pulled pork sandwiches will be offered for sale, and soups will be chicken corn and ham and bean.

The sale will continue until all the items have been sold. Proceeds will benefit the fire company. High noted that the organization is raising funds to purchase another fire truck.
