The Swanks were well known area farmers and had all the tools to repair their own equipment on the farm. We will be selling Wayne's personal Lincoln Congressional Town Car, his personal Ford F-250 Lariat pickup, and Erma's 2007 Lincoln Navigator all special ordered from the local Ford dealer, and scooters all garaged and well cared for with low mileage. The Swanks ran a fertilizer business, and were very self sufficient. Wayne was known as one of the town fire fighters.

Many items yet to be listed. The sale will start prompt at 10:00 a.m. with tools. At 12:00 noon we will sell the vehicles live and online bidding available. Plenty of parking. Hopefully a food wagon of some sort.  Sale will be held rain or shine with shelter if needed. Plan to spend the day.
