Rich Wieman mentions the live auction early Saturday afternoon, which highlighted the 2024 South Dakota Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Relief Sale—a fundraising effort that began in 1987. This year’s sale was once again held in the basement of Pioneer Hall, with guests filling the dining room from late Saturday morning into early afternoon. The event included a varied food court, a silent auction and a chance for people of all ages to socialize. Preliminary reports indicate that this year’s sale raised $90,000 for global relief to be distributed through MCC.
