FTLComm - Tisdale - December 12, 1999

The old saying goes like this, "The way to tell men from boys is the cost of their toys." With that in mind Bruce Schapansky held a toy auction sale on Saturday. Skidoos, ATVs and a few cars were on the sale and there was a good crowd out to pick up a bargain snow machine for this winter.

The sale had the widest range of products from nearly new work and sports machines to some vintage snow mobiles decades old.

The air would fill prior each sale with the sound of a starting machine and the odour of mixed fuel. Then came the clatter of Bruce as he extolled the machine's virtues and began the chant that would establish its value and new owner. Outside pick up trucks and trailers awaited the outcome of the activity inside.
