February 11, 1965: The auction sale sponsored by the Rossville W.S. C.S. Saturday evening at the Community Center was a big success although a small crowd attended. Proceeds from the event totaled approximately $300.
Lunch was served by the Methodist women beginning early in the afternoon. The auction sale began at 7:00 and was conducted by Everett Hoobler, auctioneer. Rolland Parr acted as clerk assisted by Duane Parr. Mr. Hoobler donated his services for the sale.
There was a variety of items donated for the sale, ranging from walnuts to a television set. Don Jones, minister of the Rossville Methodist Church, donated a water color painting which brought the largest bid of any item sold. Very few bids were under $1.00 and the food items sold from $1.00 to $4.00 each.
