The Rialto Square Theatre and Next Media radio stations will host "The Coolest Auction Ever!" this week.
Proceeds will benefit the Rialto Square Theatre Capital Campaign to Polish the Jewel of Joliet.
Starting at 5:30 a.m. Monday and continuing through noon Saturday people may go to the Rialto or Next Media Web sites to get the link to eBay to view and bid all items. Web sites are: www.rialtosquare.com; www.star967.net; www.wccq.com; www.wjol.com or www.wrxq.com.
"The Coolest Auction Ever!" will consist of autographed memorabilia from stars that have performed at the Rialto Square Theatre as well as memorabilia from celebrities that have been interviewed on the Next Media radio stations.
"What makes this cool (hence the name) on many different levels is that we are opening our auction to everyone around the world," said Randy Green, Rialto Square Theatre general manager. "Artists who perform at the Rialto have fans in every corner of the world. Our auction of memorabilia signed here at the Rialto reflects the support these artists have made to our cause and their fans can benefit from receiving this authentic autographed item and the Rialto benefits from their purchase."
Just a few of the auction items include autographed guitars from The Goo Goo Dolls, Buddy Guy, George Jones and The BoDeans; autographed bar stools from Ron White, Bill Engvall and Brian Regan; Chicago Bears autographed merchandise; autographed CDs, posters and photographs; an autographed chain saw from Leather Face; and an autographed bong from Tommy Chong.
A kick-off party will be held from 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday at the Rialto Square Theatre, 102 N. Chicago St., Joliet, IL. All of the items in "The Coolest Auction Ever!" will be displayed throughout the Rotunda, and people are encouraged to stop by the Rialto to view and bid on them.
On-air DJs from Next Media radio stations will host their radio shows live at the Rialto.
