Auction Chicken

In mid-August we attended the 58th annual Sturbridge Federated Church auction, which we've attended every year since we bought the camp except 2004 (we were all set to go and I went into labor). It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time. I was even interviewed for the Evening Telegram. I bought an old school desk for Aliya and a round wooden box to do something with (in my free time). Aliya got to participate in the first auction, where people were asked to raise their hand if they would bid $5 for an item, keep it up if they would bid $10, $20, etc. Later in the day, the Sturbridge chair behind Aliya in the picture went for a record $1200.
