Chairity Call for Entries

Published

You may need to sit down for this.

Because we’re inviting you to participate in Chairity 2012, a unique benefit auction that supports the State Theatre and the South Dakota Advertising Federation.

And we just can’t do it without YOU!

To support Chairity 2012, local artisans generously create and donate one-of-a-kind chairs that are functional works of art. Money raised from auctioning the chairs will go toward buying auditorium seats at the State Theatre, and a portion will be used for SDAF programming. Are you willing to give your creative talent for a good cause?

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Registration forms due Feb. 14. Download registration form here.
  • Build a chair any way you like, with any material you like. (Just save us the heavy lifting by keeping it under 75 pounds.)
  • Complete and deliver your chair to the Icon Lounge (400 N. Main Ave.) by March 15.
  • Check out your chair on display in Downtown Sioux Falls. Entries will be displayed until the auction at Icon Lounge on April 12.

Thanks for participating! We can’t wait to take your seat.

Thank you to our sponsors, Canfield and ICON Loung + Events:

Being a business owner comes with a lot of crap. In our company, literal crap that comes by the gallon. So when you do what we doo, cleaning up dog doo, inevitably you get some prank calls from kids (I can’t blame them) or voicemail from people wondering just how you pick up the poo. But then you get the questions that even in a million years of a jazillion buckets of poop pick-up, you never could expect. And sometimes someone drops a load of, “Huh?!!?!?” bigger than what a Great Dane can pile up. That’s a house pooper. Read More »
