CRPA Seventh Annual Online Auction

CRPA Seventh Annual Online Auction
November 2, 2026, 6:00 PM – November 11, 2026, 6:00 PM

In an effort to carry on the legacy of both Bill Hardbarger and William Kent Ford, Jr., we hold an online auction each year in their memories in order to fund the Bill Hardbarger Educational Scholarship Fund, as well as the William Kent Ford, Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Both men loved the Cowpasture River and cared deeply about providing river and conservation education for students of all ages.

We have four pages of auction items this year — 45 items in all!

Auction items include a variety of beautiful artwork, a cabin and guest house stay, a handcrafted bench, a sporting package at the Omni Homestead shooting club, an Orvis fishing rod, dog crates and more!

All proceeds will benefit both scholarship funds.
