This collection fea- tures some auction pictures of years gone by. The pictures show the antique committee in action. Since 1947, the antiques have played a key roll. Over the years, the antiques have drawn the greatest atten- tion. Each year, people come to the auction hoping to go home with that special piece. Many of the “best” items are saved for Sat- urday night when the crowds are the largest. The antiques bring in a significant proportion of the to- tal money raised at the auction each year. An early picture features an- tiques displayed on a table out- side of the Risley barn. Mrs. Alice Howell and Mrs. George Mont- gomery were among the volun- teers who handled the sales. Two pictures from the 1975 auction feature Beth Roe, Almenia and Sheldon Evans in the antique area, and Pauline Kutz, Barbara Lemmond and Anne Davies ‘work- ing the antique booth’ where they can still be found in 1997. A 1989 picture shows Hope Chollak as chairman of the com- mittee with Maryan Daily, Pauline Kutz and Ernest Ashbridge. Ernie has served as antique chairman for many years and has an- nounced that 1997 will be his last year as chairman of antiques.
