As we all know Frank - our gracious host - passed away recently.
His family would like to host a final FrankenFest at his shop in Clinton.
55 Sterling Street
Clinton Ma 01510
The purpose of this is:
1 - to honor Frank's legacy
2 - to pass on the balance of Frank's collection.
3 - raise money for a
college fund for Frank's grandchildren.
We will be having a silent auction where there will be a minimum price set for the remaining items.
You will be able to sign the sheet with your bid.
At a preset time (2PM) bidding will end and the winners will pay and collect their items.
The proceeds - and any other donations will go to a college fund for the grandkids.
We will post a link to a list of the items that are still available.
Be advised that some items (and much of the equipment) have already been sold off.
As a result there is significant space in the shop for our normal activities and display space.
While the focus is to sell off Frank's treasures you will still be free to sell / trade / give away your own items as in the past.
I would hope that everyone would consider contributing part of your revenues to the fund.
Major thanks to Brian aka baco99 for his work for in getting this put together.
Also thanks for Daren aka TaylorPlayer for assisting with the sorting and cleanup effort.
Brian will be taking over some of Frank's projects with the goal of offering them for sale and contributing money to the fund.
The event will start at 10 AM at the usual location and at this point plan for the silent auction bidding to conclude at 2pm.

Just over by the railroad tracks.
I'd like to encourage everyone to put a link to this post in their signature line - spread the word.
We need to be careful about parking - we don't want to use the lot across the street but we can park in front (as usual) and there is a lot around back on Parker Street.
These events run smoothly with people taking more responsibility for bringing food and cleaning up afterwards.
Let's keep that up!
The swap / sell / freebie tables will be a given as usual and people can bring their favorite toys and systems to set up.
No charges or fees for anyone to buy, sell, or display - we do it for the love.
More details to follow as they get finalized.
