Don arrived early to ensure that all the machinery was in running order and to take the combines out of the shed. The Holland United Church ladies set up the food (sandwiches, hotdogs, burgers, soup, pie, puffed wheat cake, rice crispy cake, coffee, pop and water) in the shed.
We were lucky that Albert's yard has a lot of protection from the north wind. Later in the morning the clouds cleared and it was actually quite a nice day if you got away from the wind.
Many people turned out for the auction. Some friends and family to support us, employees from the seed plant and lots of bidders. It seemed the auctioneer always had a difficult time to get the first bid, but once the offers started the auction song was rolling.
Aaron captured what he hopes are some excellent moments on film. Leah took many photos on Don's camera too. Lots of fodder to add to the "Holland, Man" film.
