One of the Auction high points was when brother Don took over and sold everything off one of the tables. He sold some Posters for a great price as he celebrated his birthday. Like most sales, some things didn't bring what we thought they might and others sold much higher. All in all, we are pleased with the total. It was a pleasure to have as many relatives and friends there and to see them get some bargains. We appreciate the kind words of many friends who offered words of consolation but told them of having been through our farm auction and having time to condition ourselves to seeing things go. It's a particular pleasure to see young people anxious to take over some of the things we have enjoyed over the years.
While many people have been involved in bringing the Auction to a successful conclusion, no one has worked harder over more hours than Carolyn. Now that this is over, she will have more time to spend with her family, grandchildren and friends. Some of the best bargains came at the end of the sale as tools and garden things were sold off the "Rack". Many of the things sold today were items that I had bought at auctions over the years. It enabled me to have a collection of tools and hardware items at my finger tips to take care of our house and yard and fix things occasionally.
