Wow....with respect to everyone, the vendors, and the bidders I expected some slowing down as the days creep on. If anything...it is getting bigger and stronger. The support from the community at large is like a growing wave.

Amazing.

I still have 28 items to auction that haven't been done yet, and based on what I've seen this far, I bet that list grows.
Working on an updated list you all will probably see tomorrow some time. Auctions will happen next week.

Think... more taxidermy, holsters, fishing, bear hunt, pork, firewood, new bows from Hoyt, Bear Archery, Bowtech, the list goes on.

Bearpaw just let us in on his donation. It's a good one. Stay tuned.

From another thread:

I have about 1800 in cup funds, and about 1100 in auction funds.   Waiting for lots of checks to start arriving.

Auction intake so far is just shy of $2700.00, I think $2680 is the number. We haven't recieved all that yet, but that's the number for what's been sold. I think Doug mentioned earlier he had around $1800 in Joshua Cup money accounted for. That was just PayPal money I think. He'd have to answer that one for sure.

Sure you can!  It's what happens when you get a group of proud Americans together.  Proud of their country, proud of their service men and proud of their friends.  We will take care of our own.  Never under estimate a group of passionate people. :tup:
