Specialty Items For Auction
Brethren Disaster Relief Auction – Part 4
September 21 & 22
This beautiful rig was custom built by our friend Irwin Groff
“Grow Money” for this year was gotten at the 2011 auction. If I remember correctly, those who want to participate are given $20.00 and challenged to create something that will sell for more than that.
Irwin has a debilitating disease that is limiting his ability to design these beautiful rigs. However, he continues building them.
My note says this sold for $1,245.00. He grew his money many times!
This beautiful rocking horse is made from one piece of wood, and was purchased and shipped here from the Philippines.
While the auctioneer took bids, my step-brother Meredith demonstrated its rocking ability.
Meredith announces the important details of each item before the auctioneer takes bids. It sold for something between $1,400 and $1,500.

The hobby horse is absolutely amazing!
@fwren - It is beautiful, but certainly would not fit in our house.
