Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone that participated in the second annual lead truck auction this year. Thank you x2000 to the anonymous buggy lover that matched the first $2000 in bids. The BAA committee was betting mid-day on Monday whether or not we would be able to reach our $2,000 goal, and only our confident treasurer, Chris Stengel put his money on making it all the way there. He cooked the books a bit by being an active bidder himself, but there’s nothing wrong with that. By lunch time, the total was around $1300, but the pace was quick from there on out, averaging about $100/hr. Hope everyone had fun and got the heats that they wanted. We’ll be contacting the winners shortly.

I think you missed a chance to raise big bucks by not auctioning off where to put the jumbo-tron. Clearly the zoo alumni have cash to burn.

Again. Where’s the “Great Comment” button. Nice one, Mark.
We should start selling everything.

Now, now, Bordick. Have some pride. We don’t want to turn in to soapbox derby people.
