PNWGPG Feb 5th Auction notice
Straight from our PNWGPG's President's Bigpumpkins.com entry
Pacific Northwest Giant Pumpkin Growers
Third Annual Internet Auction February 5, 2005
BigPumpkins.com Chat Room 8 pm(EST) 5 pm (PST)
Fellow Pumpkin Growers,
For the third time in our history, the PNWGPG organization is going to have
an internet seed auction. As you have noticed lately, seed auctions are no
longer a b noveltyb , but are now commonplace. Never the less, we hope that
we
have collected enough of these b treasuresb to peak your interest. We
have
sincerely appreciated your support in years past and look forward to your
support once again. All of the moneys collected will help fund club
weigh-offs
and other activities.
We have received permission from the Dill family to hold this auction even
though the Dill PPV has expired. We are truly grateful for all that the
Dill family has done for our sport. Additional products from the Dill family
can be found at b HowardDill.comb .
We want our auction to be different from the others that have taken place
during the off season. In order to add more excitement to this years
auction,
a Bobier 723-99 seed will be randomly awarded to the winner of one of the
Lots. The Lot will be chosen by another PNWGPG Board member and will be
unknown
to the auctioneer. The winner of the 723 will be revealed at the end of
the auction.
As in years past, our auction will move along very rapidly. If you really
want a Lot, then bid quickly and often....$5 increments, please! Last year,
we were chastised because b Soldb was called too quickly. Remember, there
is
a definite b lag timeb in the auction room. If there is no bidding for
ten
seconds, the auctioneer will call, b Going onceb and if no response in ten
seconds, b Going twiceb .....then b Soldb . We hope to complete the
auction in
less than three hours.
