Almost everything sold at the auction has now been retrieved. One exception are the electric utility poles that were removed when the electric lines were buried. They were purchased at the auction by one buyer but they are still lying by the elevator.
The gross sales at the auction was approximately $140,000., ten percent of which will go to the fire department. 315 bidder numbers were issued. Typically a couple, or a family, will get one number. Therefore, there were likely about 500 people at the sale. It's an effective fund raiser but an incredible amount of work. The irony of the volunteer firemen having to work so hard to be able to afford to protect us, is not lost on me.
Takk for alt,
