Not to hi-jack this thread, but while many were critical of the 2015 Iowa Gas Swap Meet, nothing was written about Bruce & Nancy Weir, organizers of the Indy Ad Show, regarding their generous financial gift at the Rich Penn Auction.
Before the cataloged auction took place, there were approx. 50 or so lots that were being sold as a "Pre-Sale". When the auctioneer got to the last 3 items, he explained that the proceeds of those items would be donated to a cancer patient friend of someone in attendance at the auction.
A cookie cutter Pegasus was sold for $5,000 and the winning bidder was Bruce Weir. Upon winning his item, Bruce immediately told Rich Penn that he would pay the full price for his item and he wanted to donate it back to be auctioned again, thus realizing a $4,000+ price the second time.
Bruce Weir and his wife received a standing ovation for their generosity, and they felt blessed doing such a good dead.
The Indy Ad Show has been a great show, but the organizers are TOP NOTCH!
