Spinnaker Recording Session - The Final Outcome!

When I originally wrote the posting about the Spinnaker Sound recording session, I thought it would make a great live auction item if we included a BC Lion in the package. At that point in time we had no other live auction donations, but as we neared the day of the event, we ended up with some amazing items that would be of greater interest to the crowd. In the end, I opted to put the recording session certificate in the silent auction. There was only one person remotely interested in the certificate and she had no competition in the bidding process. This crowd wasn't the least bit interested in a recording session or any of the art work that had been donated -- they wanted signed jerseys, football tickets and dinner with the BC Lions offensive line! Not only that, the Lions we talked to were not eager to participate in a recording session -- they did, however, jump at the opportunity to participate in a one-day training session with the SWAT team! Use your best judgement when deciding on live and silent auction items. Since you never really know what people will bid on, select the "big ticket" items for your live auction and put the remainder of the items in the silent auction.
