Final figures are in for the St. Joseph’s Parish Winter Wonderland charity auction held Nov. 14 at the Tropical Inn in North Battleford.
The dinner and auction event, which is a major fundraiser for the parish, brought in a gross of $32,100 for the items up for bid. In total, 270 tickets were sold and 260 people were in attendance.
The auction was conducted by Michael Higgs of Kramer Auction, who donated their services to the event. But at one point Bishop Albert Thevenot, the special guest at the night’s event, was called on to take on the auctioning duties, much to Higgs’ and the audience’s delight.
The next Winter Wonderland event is set for November 2016.
