I wasn't able to attend this year. I'm a bit surprised I've heard nothing about it, either from FaceBook friends, here on Leatherneck Nation, or anywhere else.
Did anyone from Leatherneck Nation attend? Any feedback you have about the attendance and bidding fever?

Just listened to the live auction recording.
Live auction total was $27,550.
Live auction total was $27,550.
We did attend, though it was our first time, so unsure what to expect. I hear it was a bit down due to other things going on this year at same time (PGA in STL, young 'uns school starting, etc...). My wife and I had a lot of fun, and it seemed the bidding was just fine, though someone got a good bargain on a trip to Vegas for hoops tourney. Most everything else seemed to get bid up appropriately and we'll now know what to save up for the next few years! We did buy a $300 bulldog in the silent auction this year! : )Tere North wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 3:49 pm I wasn't able to attend this year.

Any idea how much the standing and saluting Marine Rocky went for. I really liked that one when I say a pix.

I THINK a little less than $300; maybe $250? I wanted that one, as well, but someone did the “buy it now” while I was eating for him. So, I did buy it now price for my second choice! : )
