We are very happy to announce that we have Mike Connor returning to cover our Bee floral needs. He most certainly will have Bee friendly stock on display for sale. Also, Roger Graham and hopefully his lovely wife will be on hand to call the Auction with his traditional flair to banter us into buying items we were considering but buy because he asks you to. Norm Lehman procures the majority of the auction items from the numerous Bee equipment suppliers nationally, we are in debit to him for his efforts.
