The auction was tremendous. Not having been to an auction before it was a little daunting entering the room as we did not know what to expect, but we arrived early to watch the proceedings and learn. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It was a fabulous experience and so exhilarating to have won the plate I went there for, as I thought I had no chance at one point listening to the bids for some of the plates, but you never know and even if I had been unfortunate to not have won the plate I would have said it would have been an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. I would just like to thank everyone for the wonderful day we had and even more so for having won the plate my daughter really had her heart set on for her to put on a car when she turns seventeen next year (Well as soon as she saves up enough to insure a car when she passes her test) The plate not only has her name but her brothers race number which means so much to the whole family. I have to admit winning the plate brought tears to my eyes I was so overwhelmed!!! Thank you
