Click here to see 2005 Fall Auction Photos The Fall Colors Auction Gala was held at Montgomery Park in Portland on Saturday, September 24. Approximately 125 people attended this very elegant and joyful event, which was held to benefit the University of Oregon Landscape Architecture Scholarship Endowment. The master of ceremonies Anne Jaeger, host of “Around the House” on KGW Northwest Channel 8 and our auctioneer Jay Fiske, kept us entertained throughout the evening. During the silent auction, we were treated to the musical talent of Mike Zilis of Walker Macy and his cohort Joseph Kern. The evening raised approximately $13,500 which surpassed our goal of raising $10,000. Thank you to all who attended and generously supported this event!
