The Dunster Schoolhouse Auction was a big success
according to Brock Maguire, one of the organizers.
Auctioneer Ken McNaughton, pictured here with daughter
Kerry, called for the sale of 51 lots (bundles), bringing
in approximately $8,000. The money raised will go
towards improvements to the schoolhouse building. The
improvements are being made so that community members
can continue to use the space for events, plays, and yoga.
Some community members use the building to get water as
their homes do not have reliable water access. The Dunster
Community Forest also uses a part of the building as office
space. Following the sale, several of the attendees stayed for
appetizers and several more hours of socializing. Maguire
says about 60 people attended the event, and they hope to
see it grow in the future. /SUBMITTED PHOTO
