MECUM 25TH ANNIVERSARY AUCTION
By David K. McNulty
Until one sees the extravaganza that is this Mecum 25th Anniversary Auction, one is hard pressed to imagine the scope and complexity of such an awe inspiring operation. Realizing the planing, coordination and expense of buying, transporting and erecting the many very large semi permanent looking display buildings alone ought to be enough to justify in any reasonable attendee, the necessity of charging the registration fees.
As one casually looks around observing the enormity of the event grounds, seeing the myriad purposeful employees who are so carefully choreographed as to appear that every movement is planned in advance, one can easily be overwhelmed by the challenges of such a production!
It is far beyond the scope of this article to do justice to the enormity, variety and quality of all, or even most of the displays available for each and every attendee to experience for him of herself!
