As I have never been to one of these before, I was duly impressed. The event was well-organized and professionally executed. A buffet of hors d-oeuvres downstairs. An open bar. All was covered by the $35 entry fee. My entry was free since I was a donator. The auctioneer was quite good and moved things along.
Although we left before the event concluded, I would not be surprised if the lady shown in my picture to the right was the eventual winner of my painting. Several bidders returned to up their bid, but she always seemed to be there to outbid them, returning perhaps 8-10 times to up her bid.
We did not see any of the silent auction items get anywhere the number of bids as my "Village Shoppes at Night'. It was exciting, amusing and satisfying to actually witness the interest first-hand.
I'll report back, probably early this week, with the final results.
