THE 1999 COKE CAN CHALLENGE
The "Coke Can Challenge" started as of a result of Nigel Bennett auctioning off a Coke Can at Bridging the Knight in January 1997. He auctioned off his empty can of Coca-Cola, which fetched the surprising sum of US $150, and thereby started a tradition in which the guest auctioneers at all MPICA events auction off a can by shamelessly coaxing the highest bid via various stunts and antics. Click here from some candid photos of the auctioneers "in action"!
We look forward to many, many more cans of Coca-Cola raising money for our charities.Auctioneer Bid in Canadian Dollars Nigel Bennett $1700 Kathryn Long $1600 Eugene Robert Glazer $1400 Alberta Watson $500 Don Francks $400 Carlo Rota $400 Von Flores $360 Barclay Hope $350 Lindsay Collins & Josh Holliday $250 David Hewlett $205 Doug MacRae $200 Scott Wentworth $200 Geoff Murrin & Rae Crombie $200 ?
