Buy an Auction Raffle Ticket

A record crowd came to the Museum of Aviation Saturday night, July 12, to enjoy the 23rd Annual Auction and Raffle. The Century of Flight Hangar was filled with 440 items up for bid in a silent and live auction and the first place raffle winners were Joe and Margie Rossi from Perry, Georgia. They get to choose from one of five brand new vehicles or $20,000. Randy Pratt from Warner Robins won the second prize of a 47-inch TV set and Kevin Plymel from Macon won the I-Pod touch screen.

"We had a lot more room in the hangar this year," said Museum of Aviation Foundation President Pat Bartness, "because some aircraft were moved out to allow construction of mezzanines for future Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame displays. We want to thank everyone who donated or supported this event which helps the Museum sustain its outstanding education and development programs."

Attendees also were treated to free food from more than 30 restaurants and caterers in the Taste of Local Cuisine. June Lowe, Foundation Executive Vice President praised the energetic committee headed up by Chairman Steve Davison, and Co-Chairs Jimmy Autry, Rick Drury and Mary Beth Owen. Live auctioneer Frankie Howell received assistance again this year from WMAZ-TV anchor Frank Malloy who did his famous "leap onto the mattress" for the crowd of bidders. Stillwater band member Stebie Lacy and Chuck Shaheen also assisted in the fast-moving sale of auction items which included furniture, trips, a guitar autographed by the group Lone Star, an African Safari, a Kymco motor scooter and lunch with Govenor Purdue.
