One of the items on the live auction was a pair of Monarch bag boards made with reclaimed Denison High School gym bleacher wood. The item, donated by Brandon and Jessie Boger, brought in $1,500. Another high auction item was an effort to bring Randy Grossman and Tom Hamilton out of retirement to hear them broadcast a game on KDSN Radio. Two people bid $2,200, so it was decided that the pair would broadcast a baseball and a softball game this summer. The price went even higher when a number of people added $100 each to the pot.
