Honoring Papa Les

Papa Les, my step Grandpa, was inducted into the North Dakota Auctioneers Hall of Fame.  I was very thankful to attend this banquet.  It was a great way to remember Papa Les.  He is the grandpa I really remember on my Mom’s side.  I loved listening to him auction things off!  I can still hear him.

It was awesome to see all of Papa Les’ family.  I haven’t seen most of them in years.  It brought back so many memories of going to the farm growing up.

Rahab and Esther were apart of the horse race dice game!  It was amazing to see how quickly money was being raised for the Auctioneers Association!  Each horse was bought any where between $300-$900.  Then each rider was also another $300-$900.  Each horse and rider stood behind a number (1-6).  When their number was rolled they moved up a square.  It was fun to see the girls be involved.  Rahab won, it was a close race!  Whoever bought the horse and her as the rider spilt the pot.  Oh and the horses came home with us!
