"This is our 19th auction in 22 years of business," said Toot's owner WadeHays. "Without the support of this community and local businesses we would never be able to contribute what we have to the United Way. The July 4th auction represents what America is all about, neighbors helping neighbors."
Last year, the auction raised over $9,000 for the United Way. This year, Toot's anticipates writing a check exceeding the contributions of previous years.
