Fundraiser auctions to benefit the family of Capt. Aaron Blanchard(Colockumelk)

[jackelope]

We've had a few incredibly generous folks offer up some items for us to auction off to raise some funds for the family of Capt. Blanchard. We can't replace him, but we can provide something to his family that may help them get through this tough time.
I'm going to make a list of the auction items we have at this point. The 1st one will roll out Monday 4/29. All I know for sure is that we are going to start with the donation from Austrian Hunter.

Elkstuffer Ric Sherrod from All Thats Wild Taxidermy is offering up:
 $200 towards taxidermy. The only disclaimer would be that it's not to be applied towards work already in the shop and there is NO expiration date.

Remington300mag aka Sam Baird from Slammin' Salmon Guide Service donated this:
 I owner/guide Sam Baird of Slammin' Salmon Guide Service would like to offer a fully guided salmon fishing trip for up to 3 people. I guide out of Central Washington, this trip would take place from The mouth of the Okanogan to the Hanford Reach area on the Columbia River, depending on what they choose. This can either be for Sockeye (if we get a season), Summer Run Chinook, or Fall Run Chinook. I'll let the winner choose! This trip will be for 8 plus hours of fishing time. The date and locationand details will be arranged after the end of the auction. Value of this trip is $600. (that is the going rate for all of us guides in the area).

I have a NIB Kershaw Alaskan Blade Trader/knife and saw combo. I want it to be auctioned off and the proceeds go into the Joshua Cup for Aaron's family. I will cover shipping as well to the winner of the auction.

Jason Phelps and Phelps Game Calls has offered up a commemorative elk barrel call made from sheba black and white ebony with "Colockumelk" engraved on the side of it. I think we should be able to get $50.00 for this one.

Sold to RTSpring and BLRman.

Nicely done Rt......

This is a great idea....can we offer up items of lesser value that still may be of interest to people?

[Machias]

Yes but we would appreciate all of it going through us. We've done this sort of thing before and if gone unchecked it becomes wayyyyyy too confusing. We've got some other smaller items already too, I'm just waiting on clarification from Doug on what that stuff is.

I think maybe we'll start the auction on the Phelps call here in a bit....lets say 9:00am. It will run till 9pm tonight.
I'll post a link here to the auction and a seperate thread for it in a bit.
