AOTH XII Auction Info!

[FISHIN SUCKS]

Ladies and Gentlemen, with less than a month before this years annual AOTH event, that also means auction time. For you newbies that may be attending, here is some insight on what to bring to the auction held on Saturday night. We ask that each attendee bring an item to donate to the auction to be bid on by other attendees as well as bring some bank to bid/buy something you might want.

Suggestions of things to bring:

*Anything Donzi or Cigarette related: License plate, book, clothing, blanket, cooler, toys (RC boats?), whatever

*New parts (boat related). This is not a white elephant auction! Leave your broke junk home, no mud grip tires, no worn out seats for '71 Monte Carlo.

*Autographed memorabilia. We had an autographed steering wheel from Don Aronow himself that was a big hit, had a guitar signed by some roadie for Toby Keith (okay, that ones a stretch).


Things not to bring:

*Crap that you'd find at a flea market or a glass showcase in a Truckstops of America.

*If you wouldnt buy it, don't bring it. remember, this is not an opportunity to clean out your closet.

If anyone else has a question or suggestions, feel free to let me know or add on to this post. Look forward to seeing you there,

Tom

In addition to things to bring to the auction:

*Alcohol. While we do not promote drinking and boating, if you like to drink and are hanging out on the dock, parking lot, bushes, Quality booze (life's to short to drink cheap booze) and cases of beer have also been donated to the auction. Keep in mind, the location of the event is in a dry county, so bring this kind of stuff with you from wherever you are leaving.

on your trailer or truck?

[Team Jefe]

Actually.....I have them on both. Mud tires on a trailer are SUPER COOL... being as I run truck tires on the trailer, mud tires or All-terrains are pretty available as pull-offs.

Plus...if you think about it.... the trailer does go "Off Road" every time I Launch the boat :grin:

Why do I get this visual of Jefe trying to bag check a set of mudders at the Southwest gate at Houston Hobby?

I want to reach out and thank Red Dog, Dr. Dan, and Greg K for donating and shipping the MWDC items ahead of time for the auction this year. Every bit helps!

To the AOTH attendees, as the Fishman says, bring a nice item to Kentucky and bring the bank for Saturday night. It's a good time and a great way to cap off an awesome weekend on Lake Cumberland. Not to mention, it keeps entry fees low.

See you there! And bring the goods!
