Around 75-100 Breakfast Rotarians, family, and friends gathered at McMinnville Country Club Saturday night to celebrate the club’s annual gala fundraiser.This year’s theme was quite unique. It was called “An Evening at South-ebys,” and instead of a silent auction guests got to bid in real time by holding up round, numbered auction cards, much like an auction at the famous Sotheby’s Art Auction House in Britain. Some of the auction items included were The Big Green Egg, jewelry, a Lane recliner, Traeger grills and two Jackson kayaks.The fundraiser featured a meal, along with dancing and live music from a band called As Good as Gold from Nashville.Breakfast Rotary president David Snowden said he was pleased with the event.“I think it was a huge success,” Snowden said.
