Yea, I didn't think they were having an auction this year either, or that they were going to have a Collinsport Players Skit, but they're both in the line up, so apparently they are happening.
What Janet described is correct. They'd like the line to move faster than what it really does, but people like to stop and look at what they're going to bid on, of course. But it is a lot of fun and last year they had some really great stuff, so I hope they have awesome stuff again this year, too!
