Residents and visitors may bid on hand-painted Adirondack chairs Saturday, August 22, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the parking lot of First National Bank of St. Ignace.

The decorated chairs have dotted the business landscape in St. Ignace this summer.

The proceeds from the Chairs for Charity auction will benefit St. Ignace Area Hope, which operates the Hope Chest food pantry, and the Legacy House women's shelter.

Many of the chairs have been on display around town since June 19 and are hand-painted or crafted by local artists. Each chair will be fitted with a brass plate with the name of the artist.

The event is sponsored by St. Ignace's Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association, and unpainted chairs were provided at a reduced price by Ace Hardware.
