St Jude Auction - DID YOU KNOW - $2800 head start!!!

[Terry Green]

We are looking at closing dates for the 4 forum to be Wed June 1, Thurs June 2, Friday June 3, Saturday June 4th.

We may have a 5th forum due to the huge amount of items last year...if so, we will either start a day earlier, or, we will skip Sunday the 5th (Doug and Karen's anniversary) and close the last one on Monday the 6th.

Also....I'd like have an idea of the hunts that will be available.  These are always good money raisers and I'd like for folks to get an idea of what hunts are going to be available so they can plan and save up for them.

So, if you are going to for sure donate a hunt, please post it here.

1 - Solana Ranch Jan 2012 4th - 8th with 17 other Trad Gangers that are already booked.

2 - Sika Deer Hunt with Larry Surtees some time end of Jan 2012.

3 - I'm going to offer up another Cohutta Wilderness Bear hunt this fall.

X3...I'd be honored to be able to help in any way I can.

[Terry Green]

We started listing items on March 15th last year!!!

Its gonna be here before you know it.

Rob and I have been beating our heads against the wall getting this thing geared up for this year...and we are trying to make it as seemless as possible.

This year, you wont have to register to participate....just click and go.

After the Auction, Rob and I have another tuff task ahead of us...we are working on making Trad Gang even better.

Start saving up your pocket change!!!...there's gonna be FIVE bid forum this year!

And when all is said and done, this little bowhunting group will have given over a half MILLION dollars to St Jude.

[steadman]

Terry great job! If you need help again, let me know.

[Ragin Bull]

What an honor yo be a small part of this wonderful group.
Terry,  If I can help in any way.......I'm in.

[Terry Green]

Did you also know, worthy of national news,....that in the past 2 dozen cookies went for over 6 THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!

And the poundcakes by young Delaney last year also went for about that much???

This year will no doubt bring astounding things out of the Trad Gang members.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I love auction time!

[sunny hill archer]

If I remember right Delaney's pound cakes went for just over eight grand.

My family and I have eaten a few..... They were WAYYYYY worth it. Even the exercise necessary afterwards.  

[sunny hill archer]

By the way.... All you cookie monsters better start saving now and not just your pennies.


Yes... Y'all may consider this the opening salvo.
