2007 Ed Harris Memorial Trade-o-Ree/Auction Report

Posted in Oregon Lodges, Wauna La-Mon'Tay 442 by skyloo442 on October 7th, 2007 at 3:58 pm

Friday and Saturday I had the honor of chairing the 2007 Ed Harris TOR/Auction in Portland, Oregon.  This event was sponsored by The Cascade Pacific Council, Wauna La-Mon’Tay Lodge 442 and the NWTA chapter of ISCA.  Everyone their had a great time and plenty of great trades were made and some nice items were bought on auction.

We had an average attendance which will hope to improve in the future (conflicts with neighboring lodge events and the Chicago TOR drew away people).  Some improvements will be made and the next one will be even better.  Next year will be a trade-o-ree only. 

I picked up some very nice items and plugged up some holes in my Pacific Northwest OA collection along with some minor holes in other collections I have.

Some difficult Skyloo and Wauna La-Mon’Tay issues changed hands or went for nice prices on the auction block.  Some Cole Snass items went as well.  I would have like to have seen some other things on theauction block but that means I have to work harder on the donations in the future.

Kudos for everyone involved in the organization and running of the event.  Comments are welcome to either the blog or to me personally.
