I love this hidden gem. Yes, my boyfriend and I are the youngest couple there but so worth it. It's fun to walk around ahead of time to see all the items. We went one Sunday and won a few auctions. It was my first experience with a live auction. I guess they had free hotdogs outside. Since I don't eat meat, I can't make a comment on the. In the winter, I recommend dressing warm and maybe bringing a hot beverage. It is in a warehouse so it get cold. If you are lucky, you might be able to snag a seat near one of the heat lamps.
If you can't make it, no worries. You can go online a do live bidding. We did this too and got a beautiful ring from it.
