My husband and I went to a benefit auction last weekend for the Oso victims, and it is always so heart warming to see so much local support. A rather non-descript chrome fire extinguisher went for $11,000 - two people bidding against each other, obviously with the intent to simply give a bunch of money to a good cause. It certainly got the crowd in a frenzy! Local bands provided entertainment and the event was held at a horse arena just outside Oso.
