On Friday evening, October 10, the tables were filled with auctionable items ready at 6 PM for the attenders to peruse. Doreen Gay was still running around getting things in apple pie order while Betty Lane, Alan Gay and Brad Morrison were busy preparing the food that people would come early to eat. A number of folks, both members of the church and visitors, were in the hall early chowing down of chili, corn chowder and other delectable. They also bought 
homemade cookies and cakes for dessert.
Shortly before 7 PM Harold Sutherland, the famous auctioneer, came through the door to Ellis Hall and proceeded to look over the merchandise and renew friendships with Doreen and many others who had frequented his many auctions both at Peoples and elsewhere. Doreen welcomed the gathering of peoples there for an evening of entertainment and bargains. This was followed by a prayer offered by Pastor Jamie and then it was time for Harold to go to wor
k.
It is rather interesting that some items of what might be considered of great worth seemed to go for very low bids while other items that one would not expect would bring in as much
went for a rather tidy sum. The bidding certainly showed the tight financial times that we seem to be in at present. Some folks did walk away with some outstanding bargains. For the most part the attenders had a very good time and a good
ly sum of money was again raised for the benefit of the church.
We certainly thank Doreen for all of the effort that she put in to the arrangements and Sue Angell, Marlene Tordoff and Betsy Morrison for their cool calculations of sales and money. Amy Wellington was helpful in assisting with the merchandise and Samantha Foote, Nathan and Isaac Dunn for their willingness to serve as runners.
