Elk Hunting, New York City, a Year of Wine – How Will You Decide??

December 8, 2010 — 

Have you got yourself a hankerin' for some hand-harvested elk steaks? Well then, you need to be the winning bidder on a 3 day elk hunt at the AASV Foundation Auction during the AASV Annual Meeting in Phoenix. The Roy and Jan Schultz Revocable Trust has donated the hunt that could send you home with a freezer full of meat harvested in southwest Iowa. The winning bidder will receive lodging, meals, licenses and guide service.

Once you get all that meat home wouldn't it be nice to have a brand new set of serving dishes to properly accent your culinary masterpiece? Well, just keep your wallet handy and bid high on a set of Hadley Pottery donated by Butch Baker and Kerry Keffaber and their wives. This American classic pottery bears the popular Pig pattern that is a part of the original Hadley Country collection. The past AASV presidents and their wives have graciously donated a number of useful pottery items from which to choose.

But don't put that wallet away just yet. The meal wouldn't be complete without a nice bottle of wine! The Pork Team of Pfizer Animal Health has got you covered if you're the winning bidder on a one year subscription to Dean and Deluca's Artisan Exclusive Wine Club. Three specially-selected bottles of finely crafted wines will magically appear at your door each month for a full year! Now that's a delivery you just can't get through Twitter.

Now, here's a plan you ought to consider. Pack up some frozen elk steaks, your brand new pottery and a couple months worth of wine and head for a romantic weekend in the Big Apple! The Pork Team of Pfizer Animal Health will fly you and a friend to New York City and hide you away in the lap of luxury in a five-star hotel. You can take in a show or a sporting event while waiting on your elk steak to reach that perfect medium rare on the radiator in the room.

You'll also need something to record the big elk hunt or the trip to New York or even the postman delivering the latest month's wine shipment. The 12.1 megapixel Sony Cybershot digital camera donated by TechMix is the perfect device for capturing those priceless moments with point and shoot simplicity.

These are just a few of the incredible items up for bid in support of the AASV Foundation. Take a few moments to browse the list and select some "can't live without" items to bid on in Phoenix. Also, if you're planning to donate an item simply complete the donation form and submit it to the AASV office but hurry, the deadline is December 15th!
