Auction

Hughes from Boy Scout
Troop 281, which runs
the event. “We got rid of
the majority of the stuff.
There were plenty of
baby toys, skateboards,
Nerf guns were popular
as were inch worm toys,”
Hughes said.
Jim Snyder, a long-time
volunteer, said Friday
might was an “umbrella
auction” and, though the
bidding enthusiasm was
dampened, very few peo-
ple left; they just put up
their umbrellas, sat and
waited for the showers
to stop.
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.

other things that affect
more of the municipal-

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.

would be back next
year to ask again.

how to shoot a BB gun, sharpened their archery
skills and even did some tubing on the Lehigh
