Here is a short video of me at the Crown Auction site before all the ventriloquist figures go up for auction tomorrow, Sunday, October 25, 2015.
A lot of people were complaining that they had trouble bidding the for the last auction. So, Crown Auction has created this tip sheet to make it easier.
Dear Friends,
We want to take a minute to thank you for participating in Session 1 of the ventriloquist auction. As most of you know Session 2 is quickly approaching. We received several comments about problems with Internet bidding and so we wanted to pass on a few tips we received from Invaluable the online platform. The following recommendations will help your bidding go smoothly!
Mark Wade the Executive Director of the Vent Haven ConVENTion has sent us the following information for you to see…
I have been working diligently on our 40th. Vent Haven ConVENTion 2016 schedule and it is looking great! My first big announcement..our good friend Jeff Dunham is going to take the entire ConVENTion to his show at the BB&T Auditorium at Northern Kentucky University for the Saturday night show. That’s right, Jeff will provide buses to take the entire ConVENTion to his show for Saturday night and provide great seats for all of us. And this is not extra..it’s part of your registration.
It is amazing but I have been asked many question about the McElroy Cradle so I will divulge the whole story since this is in the past about 10 years. My great friend ( who I miss terribly) Ray Guyll and I decided to produce a McElroy figure which we were going to sell as a Ventriloquist Central Exclusive.
We also brought in the great Bill Nelson to work on this project too. The three of us flew to Las Vegas and had a business meeting to firm up the deal.
We commissioned someone, who will remain nameless, to sculpt a special head for us. We sent out hundreds of dollars for the sculpt but this artist never did the job and from there it kind of fizzled out.
