On Tuesday May 17th, Yoder & Frey Auctioneers, Inc. kicked off their 1st Annual Spring

Consignment Auction in Ashland, OH. With over 300 bidders and 400 plus lots, the Auction Yard (which was

located at 268 E. 4th Street) was packed full of high-demand consignment pieces including: rollers/pavers, light

plants/air compressors, trenching/boring equipment, man lifts/scissor lifts, skid steers and attachments, loader

backhoes, motor graders, crawler tractors, crawler loaders, farm, mini excavators, excavators, dumpers, crawler

dumpers, trucks/trailers, shipping containers, asphalt/concrete equipment and other miscellaneous items.

The new Auction Yard opened Monday, May 16th for viewing and was followed by a ribbon cutting event

that evening. A substantial amount of supporters came

to celebrate Yoder & Frey’s new addition. Ashland City

Officials presented Yoder & Frey Auctioneers, Inc. with

a signed ribbon, a Certificate of Recognition from the

Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce and a Certificate

of

Superb Attainment & Recognition from the Ohio

Senate inaugurating the Grand Opening. Following the

ceremony attendees gathered for fellowship and barbe-

que provided by local Ashland vendor, Charcoal Mafia.

The 1st Annual Spring Consignment Auction began bright and early the next morning, with excitement

and anticipation buzzing from the line of attendees eagerly awaiting registration. After brief

announcements from Yoder & Frey Owner Peter Clark, the Auction was up and running. Several hours of fast

paced selling later, bidders and sellers left with satisfaction and the Auction was over as quickly as it had started.

“Overall we had a great Auction in Ashland and we are looking forward to doing it again this

September. The site was wonderful and we are very happy with the support of David Allen (the site’s owner) and

the city of Ashland as a whole,” Clark said.

Yoder and Frey Auctioneers, Inc. would like to give

special thanks to several individuals whose support and

encouragement were fundamental to the success of the

Auction. Thank you to Ashland Mayor Glen P. Miller

whose presence at the ribbon cutting was greatly

appreciated and to the other city officials who also took

time out of their day to show their support including,

the Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce, Ashland

Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau and City Representatives. Special thanks to Amy Daubenspeck, Executive

Director at the Ashland Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau and her associate Barbie Lang for their organiza-

tional help and support, and to yard owner David Allen and his crew for their valued partnership and hard work.

“It’s really encouraging to have as much city support as we did. Aside from having a successful Auction,

we wanted to contribute to Ashland’s local community and I’m happy to say that we did. Now, it may have been

small contributition, but a house isn’t built out of a boulder, it takes multiple bricks and we are proud to repre-

sent one of those bricks. The Auction attendees had an opportunity to see Ashland at work and all that it can

provide. The community’s support means a lot to us,” Clark stated.

Building on the success of the 1st Annual Spring Consignment Auction, Yoder and Frey Auctioneers, Inc.

is planning a Fall Consignment Auction to take place at the Ashland site again. The Fall Consignment Auction

will take place mid-September, 2016 which we expect to be larger in size than the Spring Auction. For more
