2021 PAINT THE PAPER PINK

Page 26 2021 PAINT THE PAPER PINK LINCOLN DAILY NEWS Oct./Nov. 2021 Big bids bring in big bucks for the American Cancer Society When the live auction began on Thursday evening, auctioneer Mike Maske said that he wanted everyone to bid high for a good cause. He told the audience that the first item auctioned would “set the tone” for the rest of the evening and he wanted big bucks. The first item to be auctioned off delivered very well bringing $200. It was a fall wreath with a pink pumpkin theme that can be utilized through the end of fall. The wreath was donated by Lincoln Daily News and designed by Jan Youngquist. LDN had two other items also designed by Youngquist that sold equally well. The first item to bring $1,000 was this beautiful pink pumpkin donated by Collision Concepts and designed by Alice Engle. The pumpkin was purchased by Becky Logan. Collision and Engle also had two additional glass pumpkins decorated with florals in the auction and Logan ended up buying all three.
