Tuesday update

Justin Manning, auctioneer, and Drew Dixon, of John Dixon Associates, greeted bidders and spectators before this morning's auction at the Bank.


Yes: it happened! It was just about 10:15 this morning, when auctioneer Justin Manning paused, looked at the gathering of people who were all looking at him, and announced,

"SOLD!"

Then he and the new owner sat right down across a desk from each other to sign papers.

It will be about 24 hours before the sale is confirmed, and when it is I'll show you the other half of this picture!

In the meantime, outdoors, final adjustments were made to the new street lamps and they were all turned on! It was a grand sight to drive through the village and see the wonderful long rows of lamp posts with globes aglow.

I don't know when they will be relit. That, I believe, is up to the Mayor and the Village Board.

The Clock is Running
and will now tell the correct time more than just twice a day!
