On Saturday night one of our Las Catalinas houses (mine) was included in the live auction at the Atlanta Ballet Ball. After a rousing reception for a live performance of the song, "A Las Catalinas Day", there was a veritable frenzy of bidding for a one week stay in the house. In the end the bids got so high and that we agreed to offer a second week in the house and each sold for $20,500 - a total of $41,000! These were by far the highest prices paid for any items in the auction, easily trouncing a fine house in St. Barth and a mansion in Sea Island. (Note that our selling prices for houses at Las Catalinas are rather drastically more affordable than those places. Hmm.)
One of the winning bidders said "my children told me that I had to win this, or else!" The other winner told me "I am going to do everything I saw in that video." I'm sure he will. To quote from the song, "... this town ... is fun."
