THE BIDDING WAS SPIRITED DURING SATURDAY’S ANNUAL LITTLE YELLOW DOG AUCTION AT THE DOWNTOWN HOCHUNK CENTER.
THREE MAIN BIDDERS WERE COMPETING TO TAKE HOME “RUBY SUE”, THE IRISH DOODLE THAT WAS DONATED BY DON AND CARI LEMLEY TO BENEFIT THE MR. GOODFELLOW CHILDREN’S TOY FUND OF THE SIOUX CITY JOURNAL.
AUCTIONEER BRUCE BROCK WAS KEPT BUSY AS THE BIDDING STEADILY INCREASED:
