LIVE 1.  Your Fast-Track to Fitness

Light, Sporty and smooth, Quick lives up to its name as your fast-track to fitness, Cannondale-style.  This quick and agile hybrid features a lightweight SmartForm C3 Alloy frame with powerful V-brakes and clean internal routing.  A reliable Shimano 2 x 7 speed drivetrain offers a friendly gear range for city pace and neighborhood climbs.  Schwalbe Spicer Plus tires roll smooth and comfortable.  Mount points for fenders, bottles and racks keep life practical.

LIVE 2.  LBA Old Train Bridge

There’s something deeply compelling about a road not yet traveled — and this striking black and white canvas wrap captures exactly that feeling. Shot in perfect symmetry from the center of an aged iron trestle bridge, the tracks stretch into the distance, flanked by an intricate lattice of steel beams that draw the eye deeper and deeper into the frame. Brooding clouds peek through the ironwork overhead, while trees soften the edges of this industrial scene, creating a hauntingly beautiful contrast between nature and structure.  The monochromatic palette gives this 30″ x 45″ large-format piece a timeless, almost cinematic quality in this sophisticated statement piece — equally at home in a modern loft, a rustic farmhouse or a classic study.

If you will not be in attendance, but would like to make a ghost bid, please contact Marty Lester at 515-419-1452.

Donated by The Elements by K. Sorbe in Storm Lake

LIVE 5.  Blanton’s – Enough Said

Taken from the center-cut or middle sections of the famous Warehouse H, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was once designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton’s family and friends. Today, everyone has access to the world’s first single barrel bourbon. The taste profile is sweet, with notes of citrus and oak. The creamy vanilla nose is teased with caramel and butterscotch, all underscored by familiar baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon. Blanton’s Original set the standard for single barrel bourbons in 1984. Best served neat or on the rocks. Bottled at 46.5% alcohol by volume.  Blanton’s is one of the most sought-after bourbons for its collectible value as well.  This bottle features the letter “s” for its topper.
