The dust is settling on the 15th Annual WBMUTBB Silent Auction and I'm wrapping up the thank you letters and donation forms. A few fun "trivial trivialities" on this year's auction...
- 28 different people contributed items or helped out on Saturday - They were from 13 different states: NC, SC, TN, IL, IN, VA, AL, WI, GA, CA, WV, OH & FL - The most popular item had 16 bids - High bids ranged from $5 to $160 (historic high is still $625 for Don Knotts autographed squad car cookie jar) - The $3,214.50 this year brings the total raised from 15 auctions to $44,028.25 - Countless number of people placed a bid (well, I could count them, but I'm still tired from all the fun :) I tend to get a lot of credit for the silent auction, but this tells me there are so many others in our Mayberry Community that help make the auction successful. As members of WBMUTBB, know that the Surry Arts Council appreciates the support, both financially through our silent auction and in your participation at Mayberry Days. It is a unique festival, not without its challenges and struggles, but is a great opportunity for TAGS fans to celebrate together and it is fun for me to be a part of helping make it happen. If you have never attended the festival, I encourage you to go next year!
