Ole' Time

Village Civic Center in Hatteras.
All proceeds will go to the
Friends of the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum to
defray costs of Flags Over Hatteras activities and
for a designated donation towards a Civil War
restoration project/projects and 'Friends Of The
Graveyard Of The Atlantic Museum.
Come early to get your bid number and a front row
seat. The items will have a starting bid and will be
sold as fast as lighting strikes. Jason Humphries of
Humphries Auctioneering from Kill Devil Hills, NC.
will visit us from the 19th century to call out the
bids. Jason's claim to fame is,"Its the sound that
sells!" To that end, he has already started to
gargle bales of cool sea water to get ready for this
special event.
Donations of any and all auction items are
welcome. They do not need to have anything to do
with the Civil War. Items already on the auction
block for lucky bidders to win range from books
and prints to a half-day charter boat fishing
trip.
