Wow! What a night. There was so much fun had by all in attendance at the Friday, May 12 HELP-hosted purse mystery auction event at Rivers Legion Hall. I am sure if you asked anyone who was there, they would tell you they had a ball. Games were played, laughter was loud and money was raised for a fabulous cause. There was a silent auction, penny raffle, 50/50, door prizes and delicious appetizers.
