From NSBA:
After a bar-b-q dinner sponsored by Super Sires, attendees brought their wallets and their auction items for the Back To Berrien annual auction benefitting the NSBA Foundation Trainer Crisis Fund. When the total was tallied, the auction raised more than $45,000 for the fund. Items ranged from tack to liquor to jewelry to a bronze horse sculpture from the John Narmont estate.
