Ted Hall & Kim Denty made the live auc­tion fun with a lit­tle ‘Vanna White’ and ‘Bob Barker’ humor. hold­ing up dif­fer­ent bas­kets with a “no, that ‘price isn’t right’ you need to bid higher.” Fun was had by all and the spe­cial deputies raised almost $5,000.00 from the event. Pro­ceeds from the out­ing go to the aux­il­iary unit for equip­ment used to assist the sheriff’s office.

“Brenda and Larry put a tremen­dous amount of work into this out­ing,” Bren­ne­man said, cred­it­ing the Hard­ens. “They got spon­sors and door prizes and bas­kets. We really appre­ci­ate all the hole spon­sors and dona­tions for door prizes. It was a great time and a great success.”
