Nick McNeil and his father Carl McNeil squeezed the highest bids for an array of farm equipment, from attachments to trucks and tractors.
 
Tens-of-thousands of dollars of equipment were sold.  Dale Teel, a longtime Riner resident, was asked if he was happy with what his items were bringing; Mr. Teel's smiling face preceded his comment that "well, I sold them."
 
It was all in a day's fun, as Carl McNeil "worked" the bidders, sometimes playfully tipping their hats forward to encourage a "yes" bid.  Nick McNeil enthusiastically hawked the bids, often lifting his arm skyward.
 
Sinkland Farm has hosted several of these events that seem to be more of a social gathering than a business event.  As Susan Sink quietly observed the group, she said "I'm pleased with the large turn-out."  Old friends and new acquaintances had a good time, buying what they needed at fair prices, while talking about many topics other than farm equipment.
 
It was a rousing start to a Saturday in the normally serene Riner community.
