$4,500.00 En Route to DEMSA.
When the Hand Hills sees a need they tend to act on it, and has earmark the proceeds from its 2014 Charity Sale to the Dryland Emergency Medical Services Association. DEMSA is irreplaceable in the Special Areas. In the Hand Hills, residents know they are very fortunate to have the likes of Randy and Betty Landis, our go to people, who cover our needs for the yearly Stampede as well as the Trail Rides and the Little Britches of the past.
Others realize the need of this Association as was evident on Friday Night. Bidding started out with a whopping $20 bid for 2 dozen Chocolate Chip Cookies. Vern Thuroo was the first to buy and all thru the night the Thuroo Family name was heard as Vaylene Miller, the auctioneer would say Sold. Besides bidding on items the Thuroo’s donated many items and the Hand Hills wants to recognize them for their Community involvement.
Baking is always a big seller at this sale. Many local businesses stepped up to the plate with donations as well. John Deere hoodies were sold and worn by the kids who bid on them as well as there was Mopar and Dodge for the guys. Our local talented ladies added their talents to the sale. Framed pictures, a canvas print and a quilted wall hanging were beautiful and sold for some of the highest prices of the night on the Silent Auction Table. A very unique item on the Auction Table was a Horse Hair Necklace and Earring Set made by Tamra McNeil. Tools, kitchen and household items all fetched good prices and found new homes. The night was a huge financial success and was also a very enjoyable night to spend with neighbors and friends.
