For the last several years we have held an auction (both "live" and "silent") to build up a fund for the 100th Adams-McKain Family Reunion and publish a book on the Adams-McKain Family Reunion.
Please consider bringing an item to the next reunion for family members, friends, and guests to bid on.
Following is a list of some of the "treasures" from past auctions:
"Old time" family portraits (framed) copies donated by various family members such as Bob Brown
Handmade afghans by Maxine Reiling Parrish
Family "heirlooms" such as crocks, tools, dishes, toys, etc.
Buffalo steaks from N. Dakota provided by Muriel (Brown) Hurt
Home made pies
