The conclusion to about six months of dedicated work by agents of RE/MAX Around Atlanta in conjunction with Larry and Lucy Troutman of Atlanta Auction Company was last night with the Children’s Miracle Network Auction. While the total’s are not in yet for how much money was raised, the enthusiasm of the crowd says it had to be a huge success. Several guest celebrities were on hand to help with the evenings events. Dave Butz, formerly of the Washington Redskins, was present and signed autographs for everyone and proudly displayed his Super Bowl Rings for all to see. Wes Sargenson of chanell 11, who is also a registered auctioneer, was present to assist and helped auction several of the evenings premier items. Items included in the auction were sports memorabilia, trips, jewelry, antiques, golf clubs, spa certificates and glassware. Rumor has it that this is being considered as the first in what many will want as an annual event.
The Aurora Theatre in downtown Lawrenceville hosted the evenings gala affair and was considered by all to be an almost perfect venue with it’s theater seating and excellent viewing for all.
