The Lake Country Republican Women held their annual desert auction on the radio Thursday and all the money that was raised will go to the Veterans of Shawano County. The money will be given to Nick Benzinger the Shawano County Veteran Service Officer to distribute to the veterans that are in need of assistance. Thanks to the Desert Auction the money and donations raised was just under $3600. The event brought in several pies, cakes and cookies for sale through the auction and many with a minimum bid, and most exceeding that minimum bid.
