On February 5 we went to Mantorville for a night of fun in the Mantorville Opera House. The Mantorville Restoration Association had a fundraiser auction and variety show as part of their annual Snow Days celebration. We had everything except snow this year. There were many nice items donated for the auction and a nice variety show. I put a number of pictures in my auction gallery so you can look and see who was there.
We will be conducting another auction this Spring for the Stephen Fymbo estate of Storm Lake, IA. We are still working on fixing a date. The auction will be two days long. Watch this weblog for date and time. The auction will be held in Northfield at the Odd Fellows Lodge. This auction will include Steve’s collections of over 700 scale models (muscle cars, James Bond, Munsters, etc) as well as NASCAR collectibles, Dukes of Hazzard, etc. The auction will be live on the internet with a complete catalog to be found at Proxibid. I am working on photographing the collection right now and building the catalog. This will be a really interesting auction. Tell any model builders that you know so they can check it out.
In January I had an adventure that I had dreamed about for a long time. I went to the Grand Canyon and backpacked to the bottom. I camped for two nights there. It was a journey of self-discovery. I hope to bring back some of what I learned there and use it in everyday life. I have posted over 100 pictures on my gallery. If anybody is interested in details, feel free to e-mail and I will be glad to tell you more.
