DENMON Staff Writer The children’s activities are done, the ‘Moon Walk’ disappeared and the pony is back to his stable. The auction block is quiet, the row of seats have miraculously disappeared, the prizes claimed, the vendors gone and the bright red, blue, green, and yellow and white striped tents taken down. The mouth-watering aroma of the chicken barbecue is long for- gotten and the day school's stu- - dents’ voices and laughter fill the air that last week was alive with the voices of the auctioneers. The Library Auction is gone for another year. As the chairpersons relax al- ready they look to next year and think about how they can improve over this event just past. Now it's on to next year and the new chair- man, Monty Evans. The questions are “What can we add? What are the auction-goers tired of? Let's suggest something new! The crafts were a popular feature, let's recommend them again next year.” “The chicken barbecue was a great hit, why not try it another year? And the horse show-that was a great lead-in to the four day auction and made a nice sum of money.” “What about the bells and the seed money? How about selling the blossoms grown from the seeds? Another suggestion thrown in for consideration.” The volunteers will mull over the ideas. They will also contem- plate the work that went into this year’s auction-not just hours but days and weeks. But it was fun, they all agree as they put it out of their mind until a meeting another day. The auction has come and gone and each worker can sit back and say ‘It was a good year’ as they look to th Summer of 1991. : Auction (continued from page 1) “The crafts also went well and I believe we could have had more on the grounds that day. The crowd really enjoyed them. I will recom- mend the crafts again for next year." Scott said there was an excel- lent crowd on Thursday and a big crowd on Friday. She said the crowd on Friday was not bidding very high and many items went for less than they should. “Saturday's crowd was not as big as Friday, but the people were bidding higher. The bidding was also good on Sunday and the dedi- cated bidders stayed until 12:30," said Scott. The prize winners were happy. Norman Oney won the first prize of $1200 and A. Shep Pawling won the second prize of $500. Stacy Martin won the third prize of $250. Jean Michaels sold the first and second tickets and Joann Runner sold the third prize ticket. Winners of the antique prizes were Agnes Gregson, the antique table; Glenn Forney, the antique lamp; Dr. Charlotte Casterline, the amber fruit bowl; Judy Vivian, the butterscotch jug; and Jacqueline Robbins, the hanging scale. “Everything went well and the people were wonderful, but I really believe the economy of the country hurt us this year. People don't seem to be spending as freely as they were in the past few years,” said Connie Scott. “I'm anxious to know what we actually netted when all returns and reports are in be- cause we worked hard to make as much as we could.” Stop in and say hello to Vito.
