Last Friday, the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary in St. Clair County held its fourth annual Quarter Auction at their Port Huron Citadel. Doors opened at 5 p.m., with bidding from 6 to 7:30 p.m. For $10 admission, locals bid on prizes like a Detroit Lions signed jersey, a safari trip, and a “touch a freighter” experience. Dinner was available for $10. The money raised supported youth programs, scholarships for summer camps, and local backpack giveaways, helping kids across St. Clair County.

In St. Clair County, the Sheriff’s Department warns residents about a recent scam targeting local families. Scammers are calling, pretending to be sheriff’s deputies, and demanding money to release a loved one on a tether. The department confirms this is false—tethers don’t work that way, and they never ask for payments by phone. Anyone who suspects they’ve been scammed should immediately contact St. Clair County Central Dispatch at (810) 985-8115 to report it. Stay alert and protect your family.
