camaraderie with fellow auctioneers

Fun Auction

The Pennsylvania Auctioneers Association conducted the Fun Auction again this year during the annual conference on Thursday evening, January 15th, 2009.

The Southwest Chapter was in charge of the event this year, with Jim Clayton and Sandy Brittingham as the able co-chairpersons.

Proceeds will again be used to offset the ongoing education and promotion/marketing efforts of the Pennsylvania Auctioneers Association. The Southwest Chapter again donated a very attractive water jar with stand and drip mechanism handcrafted by Westerwald Pottery, and Wehrly's Auction and the Central Chapter offered their perennial pedal car...just to name a few of the great items that were sold.
