01/01/11 The weather may have been cold outside, but inside the Whitehall Community Center the coffee and auction items were HOT! With 158 registered bid numbers there were close to 250 people keeping each other warm in the newly improved community center!

Hats off to the Whitehall VFW which owns and manages our auction building! They do a great job and recently updated the windows and increased the insulation in the building, not to mention nice new red, white and blue trim paint! With 2 large radiant heaters and lots of seating folks were comfy cozy inside and having a great time bidding on great merchandise from collectible firearms, coins and jewelry to antique lamps and collectible cowboy spurs! A little something for both the husbands and the wives! The kids stayed busy eating the free snacks which were set out on the table with the free coffee.

As a thank you to all of our buyers that attended auctions throughout 2010 we gave 1 door prize drawing ticket for each auction they attended in the past year as well as 1 ticket for attending the 2011 New Year's Day auction that day. So everyone got at least 1 ticket and our regulars got many more. The more auctions you attended the more chances you had to win one of the following door prizes: 2 date books with pens, 3 $25 Hagedorn Auction Gift Certificates & 1 $100 CASH PRIZE which was won by local resident Dagmar Riddle! Congratulations Ms. Riddle and thank you for attending 3 of our auctions in 2010!

Great people, great merchandise and great fun, the three things you will always find at a Hagedorn Auction!
