tvauction

Brought to you by the generous support of your local businesses, the Stoughton Community Auction was a live, on-air auction April 29 on Stoughton's community cable station, WSTO (cable channel 98, digital channel 981).

There was more than $4,000 worth of merchandise and services for sale and the bidding was intense during the 4-hour auction. The Co-op's fundraising committee thanks those who tuned in or logged on for bidding high and often. The auction provided essential support to keep our community-owned, locally-oriented grocery store viable in downtown Stoughton.
