Event organizers were very pleased with the turnout at this year’s Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation Western Splendor Legacy Event. Roughly 250 people attended this year’s event which raised approximately $60,000 for the foundation. Table and raffle sales, auction funds and donations all figured into the total amount raised.

Both a silent and regular auction were held with the help of auctioneer Lloyd Michael, Jr., pictured above, of Michael Auction Service.

The item bringing the most was a hand-assembled grandfather clock
from Harlan Stern, pictured above.

Sarah Alberts of Fort Collins won the raffle. Her mother-in-law Linda
Alberts, pictured below with Steve Young, accepted on her behalf.

The event was co-chaired by Steve and Kim Young and dance music was provided by “NightDrivers” of Grant, Neb. following the meal.
