This Weekend Is Loaded With Auctions

I got as far as Beckley, WV last night in my drive home from the Indy TOR. I dashed from the show quickly on Saturday afternoon and had a picking opportunity in Ohio that went every well. I'll record a video sharing that story and what I got in my Patreon group - the Scouting Hot Finds Insiders this week.

Order of the Arrow Auctions Up For Bids

The Indy TOR did not disappoint. It was interesting to see how many people get to town on Thursday night so they can be in the door early to start Friday off. I enjoyed having conversations with so many people and exchanging some cloth over the weekend. The live auction featured a patch blanket that sold for about $11,000 which was a show stopper.

Auctions Are The Hot Finds Secret Sauce

The folks who run this show have figured things out. They must have run 15-20 rounds of silent auctions so there is no doubt who made the most money off the show. We also paid $12 for a pulled pork sandwich from the host troop for dinner so the locals did very well this weekend.

Now I get to do it all over again! Well not quite but there is a TOR in Jamestown, NC that I will be hitting Friday night of this week. I talked to several people this weekend who are working on making plans to attend my Charlotte TOR in April. We still have tables available and would love to see you there.
