(Le Mars) — The Fair Auction generated an additional $19,675 with the proceeds to go to help with maintaining the fairgrounds. Fair officials report the amount is similar to last year’s auction receipts. Much attention was given to the “Hidden Circles” quilt created by Geri Dreckman. Once the quilt had passed $2000, only two bidders were wanting the quilt, Greg and Pam Wells and Terri Brock, the wife of auctioneer Bruce Brock, of which he seemed nervous of the fact his wife was bidding.
