A bag handprinted by Artist Buck Burns brought in the most for the day.
Auctioneer Danna Stout volunteers to auction off purses to raise funds for PEO scholarships. PEO Chapter BR organized the auction on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023. A total of 100 purses were auctioned off, with the two highest selling bags being a hand-painted one by local artist Buck Burns and the second one a verified Madame Millie bag with her book of clients inside.
In another room, participants could find reasonably priced bags for sale. A homemade chicken salad sandwich on croissant was pre-packaged with carrot sticks, grapes and potato chips. And one each table, a variety of delicious homemade cookies enticed the attendees.
Four models showed purses throughout the main room to all the participants. They included scholarship recipients Samantha and Veronica, along with Taylor and Annie.
