And… THAT'S IT! Another exciting end to another Mercury Online Charity Auction, and even though we're suffering through a crappy economy, generous bidders LIKE YOU have turned this year's auction into another record breaker! At first glance, Mercury readers have cleared over $23,000 for our charity of choice OUTSIDE IN! (We'll announce the final tally in next week's paper!) But until then, from all of us here at the Mercury, we'd like to say a hearty THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. You're the BEST!
