A homemade peach pie by Skip Sensbach in a thrown pottery bowl went for $100. Newcomers to the auc- tion made multiple trips back and forth to their cars, commenting they never knew there were such great bargains at the auction. The library named the auction barn for Ernie Ashbridge, a tribute to the long-time auction volunteer, library and community friend who died earlier this year. The shuttle from Dallas Shopping Center was most always filled and Finch said Emmanuel Bus Service told him they'd never seen it so busy. The raffle booths did fabulously with boxes stuffed nearly every night, according to John Stubeda and Terry Eckert, the new goods chairperson, said Saturday night sales were wonderful. Sunday might brought a gleeful, cheering crowd to watch Hand’s students sell their paintings and there were “no com- plaints” about the 67th Annual Back Mountain Library Auction, Finch said.

From page 1 We've been trying for other things that affect more of the municipal- ity.” Mayor Timothy Carroll said he also would like to use the road, noting he lives nearby at the end of Machell Avenue. “To me, I just accept the fact you can’t go that way anymore. There are so many things this town needs. Our roads are falling apart, they need pav- ing, we need money for that,” Carroll said, add- ing that the bridge is low on his priority list.
