Gecko Fest online silent auction

The 2010 Gecko Fest may be over but a few geckos are still lurking around the Gecko Fest headquarters. Gecko Fest organizers are launching a special silent online auction event to give the artistically-designed geckos a home.

Nine geckos will be auctioned off beginning Saturday. Bids start at $500. They include "Curly," the yellow and green gecko with swirls; a Spider Man gecko; Elvis as a gecko; a Pittsburgh Pirates themed gecko; "A Long Night" gecko; the "Geeky" gecko; Lizard King of Hearts gecko; the "Gecko Intimidator" inspired by Dale Earnhardt and "Lacy Lizzie," the gecko in the little black dress.

People interested in the geckos can visit the auction preview page at www.paps-r-us.com/bradenton_geckofest_2010.html.

The auction ends May 31. Proceeds from the gecko sales will benefit area artists, local arts organizations and school art programs.
