The Hilltop Heritage Foundation held their 24th Annual Steak Fry & Auction last night at Buckskin Dance Hall in Killdeer. Larry Schnell did a great job of auctioneering.
After supper the auction began. I bid on, and won, an "Obama Basket," which amounted to several blue-themed items stuffed in a hand-decorated box: Blue Nun Wine, Winterfresh gum, Berry Blue Jell-O, Gourmet Blueberry Licorice, Smucker's Blueberry Syrup, and a four-piece box of Donkey Truffles.
In a crowd of 300--and only one other bidder for this item--raising the bid was my small effort to stand up for the President. I ended up winning it for $35. I'm pretty sure the red-themed "Nobama Basket" did better.
I hit the road trucking today to Toronto and then back to Calgary. I haven't seen Hana and Stevie for almost seven weeks.
Also: Happy 67th birthday today, Ma!
