We are amazed at how fast the list filled up! We have had a seed auction for 10 years in a row now, and are looking at a Sunday or Saturday in March. Amazing how we started the entire thing, hundreds of thosands of dollars have been raised, yet we can not get a slot! lol... I think I should go in the hall of fame for AG's for starting the online seed auctions! How much money has been raised over the past 10 years by ALL of the auctions for all of the growing groups and fundraisers? Mind boggling I tell you!

PGPGA will have one, so look for March date to be announced! THanks and have a happy holiday!

Rock, do not be a feered!! As I understand it, Ken, (da MAN) from bp.com picked, as in a lottery, the dates for the auctions this year. Last year, the KGPG, had a March date and raised a bunch o cash, which funded our weighoff this year. In March, all those who slept thru the winter...will be biddin at the PGPGA Auction!!!! Peace, Wayne

If he picked them from a lottery, then why wasnt the PGPGA included? We have never missed a year! Ken?

Rocky...there were multiple posts about getting dates including a notice that gave a deadline for requesting dates and then a notice that dates would be selected in the chatroom on a specific date at a specific time.....I dont think its up to Ken to seek out the interested clubs.....and sometimes we (humans) just miss stuff....it happens.
