the auction...and the new auctioneer

The Celebrate Amigo Auction


The auction is always a highlight for me not only of the weekend but for the year. It is amazing to see the talents of so many people demonstrated by the quality of items made. Then there is the generosity of the crowd as the bid each other up, all to raise money for Amigo. Here are some pictures from the night. Thanks for a great time. We were able to raise nearly $10000 in the auction and thru donations.


The Auction!

A lot of thanks to Greg Blucker, who kept asking for more and more...

Irene Troyer's handiwork, beautiful comforter and very warm

Kent even got to fulfill a dream of auctioning off an item.

Not sure what Willie and Greg are doing over there, this might have been when Kent had a bid for $50 and ask for $40. A good laugh was had by all, Kent included.
For over two hours, people laughed and bid. It is overwhelming to see the support and the generosity of people, especially when times are tough and the future is unsure. Thanks!
