There was a lot of fun, and a lot of good deals, at the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2007 Auction, held at the Masonic Hall on South Avenue. According to Diane Sheely, the Chamber’s Executive Director, about 140 people attended the Tuesday evening event. In addition to the traditional auction, there were silent auctions, and a balloon raffle. Auction items and prizes were donated by local businesses, giving bidders a chance to get some very unique items. A unique knife from W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery, and a unique lighter from Zippo that included the manufacturing die, so another one can never be made, were included. The Chamber’s annual auction is not just a sale, but rather, an event. The buffet was stocked with dishes from several local caterers, and refreshments included a cash bar. While it was too early to provide an exact total of the proceeds, Sheely did say this year’s auction was the best in recent years. | ||
