WATCH FOR “AUCTION” SIGNS & PARKING DIRECTIONS!

AUCTIONEER'S NOTE: It is our honor to assist the Sorensen Family with the sale of Jim’s personal property. Jim passed away last winter at the age of 96, and he had donated his family farm site and land to Lincoln County for park land. The personal property being sold on this LIVE auction reflects generations of treasured items that will be brought out from the house, sheds, and barns. Please note that this is a very partial listing of items to be sold on auction day. This is an auction you won’t want to miss! Kevin & Crew
