"Testing 1-2-3-4...Can you hear us way in the back? We will be ready to go in just a bit.”
A short pause and then:
“Ladies and gentlemen - Welcome to the 31st Geneva Cancer Auction.”
The voice of Duane “Whitey” Hagen began the annual event.
“We thank Barb and Jack (Kuckenbecker) for 7 years of helping us host the Geneva Cancer Auctions,” Whitey began, which brought up a big round of applause. “And we look forward to many years ahead with Greg and Chelsea (Hanson), the new owners of the Geneva Bar and Grill. We also offer up a big thank you to the Geneva Cancer Auction crew for all they have done and continue to do to help find a cure for cancer. God bless you all."

Another new year has arrived and with it comes another Geneva Cancer Auction. We probably should have gotten this in last week’s issue, but most area people know that the Geneva Cancer Auction is always held the second and third weekends in January each year.
For those who don't know, the 31st Annual Geneva Cancer Auction will be held the weekends of Jan. 9 -10 and Jan. 16 -17 in Geneva at the Geneva Bar & Grill.
