Museum of the Aleutians Auction

A very rare photo of the elusive Pipa filming the auction action for Channel 8. In the background is just a small sample of the items offered this year. The little black dress on the right ended up going to our Mayor Shirley!

Well, it wouldn't be an ALASKAN auction without a big case of shotgun shells on the block! Just out of frame on the right is fellow blogger CB taking a photo.

Our little table of 6 people had paddle fever and have some amazing items to show for it, and all for a great cause! I think we all set a new record for the auction due to the generosity of all the folks that donated and then came out to bid. Thanks to all the businesses and individuals that made this event such a success, it truly demonstrates what gives Unalaska such a special sense of place . . . . .

Love the large piece of artwork in the center--the one with the big dipper in the middle! Looks like a really fun time. I enjoyed the Museum on my trip, and have a framed poster from there, thanks to my friend Jane.

Does that mean it is hanging in your new house?
