Auction Update for Estate Buy Out

Finally received the cheque from the last Auction Sale. Canada Post is on a rotating strike. We had taken most of what was left from the Estate we had purchased. Some thing went fairly high and others, well...not so good.

No pictures to show, but will tell you all about a few highlights and low lights. 

Clamps were a big hit, as well as flats of misc. nut and bolts and other odd and random garage/shop items.

Furniture was a complete and total bust, rocking chair only went for a couple of dollars, a coffee table even ended up in the "no sale" pile. 

There are still a few furniture pieces left, I will save them till the new year.

All in all I am happy with what was made,even happier it all gone and that we are so close to being in profit that I can taste it.

Remember the Halloween dance I had mentioned? About 7 of us showed up Friday evening to do the set up. Can you believe it, in less than an hour the tables and chairs were all arranged, tablecloths and table decorations as well. The complete hall and entry way were also decorated, including the walls. 75 goodie bags for the littles were filled as well. Amazing teamwork!!

Saturday evening was a huge success!! Probably about 200 people attended this first time family event. I was amazed at the turnout, I had 50 in my head for some reason...silly me. Once again the teamwork was amazing. We started stacking chairs and breaking down the tables and decorations around midnight, the hall was completely cleaned, garbage done,floors swept and mopped, bathrooms scrubbed and kitchen nice and shiny by ten after 1. All this by the same crew as on Friday. There were a couple of extra people, one provided Music (with the halp of his grandchildren) one worked the table for ticket sales and another helped at the bar. What a great group of people!!

Nice to know that so many people donated door prizes and even money to kick start this event. All proceeds stay in the community. 

I was bushed by the end of the evening I tell you. I slept like a rock.

Until next time....

Happy Hunting!!
