The silent auction

The conference I've been attending the last couples is now over, and the silent auction that's been happening during the conference is also over...and...I WON!! I think this was the first time I ever bid on anything at a silent auction. I paid $35 for entry into 5 races that are organized at the rec center just a couple miles from my house. $7 per race - I'd say I got a pretty good deal! I'm thankful I had the opportunity to bid and I'm thankful I was the highest bidder!!
