Antrim Community Grange

Auction Extravaganza

As a fundraiser for its newly established Scholarship Fund, Antrim Community Grange held an auction, which raised $1500. A total of thirty-seven businesses and individuals contributed goods and services. Very few that were approached declined to make a donation, while a few opted to make straight cash donations to the fund. “Miz Clash”, a.k.a. member Nancy Crowne greeted bidders and onlookers at the door.  Past State Master, Paul Davis presided as the auctioneer, while Gloria Davis and Eliot Davis, Antrim’s President and Secretary respectively, handled the drawing of numbers for the penny auction. The bidding was spirited at times, sometimes generous and always fun. As with any worthwhile Grange event, refreshments were served throughout the auction.
