Shoppers looking for a deal this holiday weekend had a chance to bid on a number of household items at an auction held near Long Lake Road. Many made off with some exceptional deals on kitchen aids, power tools, furniture, linens, books, records, large appliances and much more. Local auctioneer Garry Drew drew a crowd and proved he still has the pipes and the humour for entertaining a crowd while getting as much as he could from their wallets. With the backdrop of sparkling Long Lake with its surrounding autumn colours bursting forth, buyers enjoyed the scenic landscape, yummy coffee, chili, and the thrill of the hot and heavy bidding. If you haven't been to one in a while, an auction is a great way to meet members of the community, score a deal and save stuff from being tossed away long before its usable life is over.
