Tue November 05, 2019 - Southeast Edition #23
CEG

Plain and simple: The Joey Martin Auctioneers sale in Blairsville, Ga., on Saturday, Oct. 26 became a mud pit from days and days of heavy rain in North Georgia. But the "show always goes on" and the sale was a HUGE success.

Despite the windy and rainy conditions, attendees continued to flow in all morning to register for bidding and by visual estimates. Approximately 500 people were on site and the auctioning process transitioned to an "under the big top tent" sale. Folks from all over the Southeast turned out for some fast-paced bidding while the internet bidding was red hot. CEG
