Well...the auction last week May 7th was really something to see. We had a full house (nearly a dozen tables) and the crowd was extremely large!! The GREAT weather had everyone feeling good! We had excitement from the podium at every turn...and the Brimfield buzz was incredible.
Over 600 lots came across the block in just 3 hours time! Got to love it!!!
We did have an episode trying to get photos...Jeff just couldn't get it all done! Consignment started arriving and didn't stop (just the way we like it) until after 10am...yes, we were lotting & tagging while the auction was in progress!!! Sorry there's no pics to share :-(
As everyone knows it's Brimfield Week and we are not running the auction. The next Thursday Auction is on May 21, 2009. We are still at 160 S. Broad St in Pawcatuck. We will be moving on June 1, 2009 to the new facility 411C Norwich-Westerly Rd (RT 2) North Stonington, CT 06359.
