Truck Rally

Benefit Auctions

 

 

Our son Jere (dark blue shirt) discusses the auction with auctioneer Joel Heisey.   Jere is auction coordinator for the rally.  Our oldest son Jeff (background) prepares the next item for auction.

 

 

Linda and Chaplain Tom Kramer oversee the auction number and payment table.

 

 

Our entire Pennsylvania family gets involved in the auctions:  Jeff, Jenna, Roy, Jana, Chris, and auctioneer Donald Groff.

 

 

Jana and her friend Renee wait while Diana displays an umbrella that is up for sale.  Our daughter-in-law Chris is clerking and the auctioneer is Dave White.

 

 

I liked this picture, because all three auctioneers (Dave White, Joel Heisey, and Donald Groff) are in it.  Granddaughter Jenna displays wall plaques while Jordan, Jeff, Jana, and Roy wait with their items.

 

 

Jana models an apron that is up for sale.

 

 

Nathan and Renee display some baked items, which are also popular at this auction.

 

 

Our daughter-in-law Kristen clerks as a handcrafted truck is sold.

 

 

Renee displays a cute rag doll.

 

 

While eighty-plus Winross and model trucks were sold at the main auction, the children moved to East Hall where the Children’s Auction was held.

 

 

 

 

Granddaughter Diana bids on an item.

 

 

Grandson Ian holds up a bowling set that is for sale.

 

 

Jana and Renee take a break during the Winross sale, and enjoy some delicious Auntie Anne’s pretzels.

 

 

Gloria opted for an ice cream cone.

 

 

Granddaughter Lydia holds up one of the final Winross trucks before the main auction resumed in North Hall.

 

 

Theme baskets have become popular and fun items at this auction.  This picnic basket is one I had my eye on, and purchased. 

We are grateful for the monies that are raised through the benefit auctions.
