No where else will
collectors have an opportunity to acquire personal items, offered by HK
notables, than from the Live Charity Auction.
Leanna Barron was the live
auctioneer at the HK Reunion's Live Charity Auction in Rosemont, Illinois in conjunction with the International Collectible
Exposition. Eight items were donated by Harmony Ball Company staff members.
Included was a Puffin Pin, with "Pete" rather than
"Rosemont" on the face, from the first Lake Michigan HK boat tour
in 1997. Martin Perry contributed a well used pipe from his days as a
shepherd plus some old photo's. Proceeds
from the event benefit NAMI
[National Alliance for the Mentally
Ill], where $2,770 was
raised. Those happy winners are shown below.
