The silent auction included a number of fun offerings, including a Hancock "Red Book" (far end of the table).
The Santa Maria-style tri-tip dinner hit the spot!
These two gals found interest in the picture of the 1979 SMVRR baseball team in the tri-fold brochure (PDF).
G-scale rolling stock adorned the tables!
