got questions?thanks for your silent support!!
A huge thanks to all those involved in the very successful Silent Auction held at the 2010 Fall Fair. To those who donated auction items (including another wonderful chainsaw carving by Clint Bleany), the volunteers who gave their time, and everyone who bid on the great array of goodies, we offer our warm appreciation.
The biggest thank you of all, however, must go to the fabulous Nellie Valentine, who organised the event and made all the pieces come together, no small achievement. This event raised over $5000! Thanks Nellie, thanks everyone!
