Flowery Branch is hosting a silent auction Saturday to fund its Shop With a Cop program benefiting needy children. The auction runs through the city’s Christmas festival, with the proceeds going toward buying presents for disadvantaged Flowery Branch children. Items up for auction include a two-hour sailboat ride around Lake Lanier for four people, as well as a “Waffle House at Your House” item, where breakfast will be made for up to 10 people at the winner’s home.
