Made In Madison Auction

One of the highlights of the Best of Madison County Awards is our Made in Madison Live & Silent Auction, a celebration of the talented businesses, artisans, makers, growers, and service providers who call Madison County home.

Guests will have the opportunity to bid on a unique collection of locally made products, handcrafted items, gift packages, experiences, and services that showcase the very best of our community. Every item tells a story and highlights the creativity, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurial spirit found right here in Madison County.

Proceeds from the auction directly support the Madison County Chamber of Commerce and help fund community events, programs, and initiatives that strengthen our local economy and enhance the quality of life throughout our county.

Interested in donating? If you have a Made in Madison item, product, experience, or service that you’d like to contribute to this year’s auction, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact the Chamber office at (850) 973-2788 or email chamber@madisonfl.org to learn more about donation opportunities.

Together, we can showcase the best of Madison County while investing in the future of our community.
