‘Spring fling’ in Winsted raises close to $38,000

students help make it happen!

Winsted’s Church of the Holy Trinity’s annual spring fling auction took place April 23 in the school gym. The "Treasure Island" auction made a profit close to $38,000, which made it the third best in Holy Trinity’s 20 year auction history.

Holy Trinity students supported their school fundraiser by setting up the gym and donation tables, serving the meal, and cleanup. Several students helped present the live auction items to the guests as the auctioneer for the evening, Fred Radde of Watertown, kept the audience bidding.

The emcee for the evening was Tom Ollig. He and Jeff Campbell, both graduates of Holy Trinity, also entertained the audience with a pirate skit, and then ended the evening singing "Goodnight Sweetheart."
