Bottom right, Kevin Thompson of Thompson Auction and Realty takes bid on a dinner for eight to be cooked by Eric Zackrison, left, of Agrario. The dinner, valued at $800, drew a bid of $1,200. Agrario also catered the event.

The evening’s highest-ticket item was a set of four dugout seats for a 2007 St. Louis Cardinals game, with the opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. The tickets, which went for $3,500 to Bill Miller of Kirkpatrick, Phillips & Miller CPAs PC, were provided by event sponsor Bank of America.
