Our Auctioneer - Robert G. Lee:

Robert G. Lee has been Hollywood’s top warm-up comic for almost two decades.  He’s a veteran of over 1,000 episodes of such shows as Just Shoot Me, Becker, The Drew Carey Show and, most recently, The New Adventures of Old Christine. As an auctioneer, he is always ready to have fun with, not make fun of, any audience he encounters.

 

Entertainment by The Sophisticats:

The Sophisticats have been entertaining audiences for nearly 30 years starting out as a popular 50's and 60's oldies band...their musical style has grown to include not only rock & roll, but also an exciting variety of swing dance tunes, instrumental jazz standards, and pop ballards.
