Rotary Auction

The annual Rotary Club auction, which raises money for college scholarships, is a beloved tradition in Hopkinsville — one Hoptown Chronicle has covered since it launched in 2019. Auction items include everything from country hams and artwork to furniture, sporting goods, gift cards, homemade baked goods and special events.
