Tom Oliver, left, bids for a silver Labrador pup carried by spotter Wade Nielson at the Boys and Girls Club Fall Auction Saturday night, Nov. 8, at the Sweet Home club, as his wife Kindra, right, and David Kem watch. The pup was purchased for $4,300 by Amy Burke of Sweet Home. Sweet Home branch Director Dave Bauer said in a text message that proceeds were still being tallied Monday, but it appeared the auction had met the club’s goals, though he did not detail what those goals were. Sales included a 700 Remington Sendero rifle with a Vortex 6-24×50 scope ($2,050), vacation packages, a barbecue for 80 on Weddle Bridge ($2,600) and much more. Above, participants enthusiastically live up to the“The 80s are back!” theme.
