Auctioneer Arnold Callison brings in bids for trees Thursday. The 51 items — including the beautifully decorated Christmas trees and other holiday-theme pieces — brought in nearly $26,000 Thursday night during the annual Christmas Tree Fantasy at the Shilling House. Several winning bidders donated the items back to the auction to be sold a second time to help bring in more cash. The highest price paid for a went for the Jensen Memorial Tree, which sold for $2,500 and then was sold again for $1,500. Money raised from the auction and other activities go to support local organizations and non-profit groups in the area. The trees will be on display at the Shilling house Friday until 9 p.m. and Saturday until 2 p.m. Children are invited to have breakfast with Santa on Saturday morning.
