There was a benefit here recently for a popular local guy who's also a musician. There was music, a silent auction and a live auction. It was held at a bar & lounge and a percentage of all drinks bought went to the benefit. There was also a spaghetti dinner donated by a local restaurant for which everyone paid $5 (probably cost about $3). Some of the things auctioned were big ticket items, some fine bronze sculptures and wildlife paintings,a $2000 hunting trip w/guide, and a couple of $1500 fishing trips. They all sold ! I was amazed to learn that $20,000 was raised on a Sunday afternoon.
