Consignments and Highlights of the March, 2019 Auction
It Was A Big Auction
Our spring auction attracted 621 buyers. A huge thank you to all the buyers who braved the cooler than average temperatures to bid on 1312 lots of birds, animals, and equipment offered for sale.
Thank You
A big thank you to all the consignors who consigned birds, animals and equipment to the spring auction. And even bigger thank you goes to all the HOAGBA members who volunteered on Friday to get all the consignments checked in and in place for the auction on Saturday, Some of those same volunteers showed up early Saturday morning to get the eggs, chicks and aviary items checked in. Without volunteers, there would be NO auction
The Auctioneer and Ring Crew
