Yamhill County Association of Realtors®

AUCTION HISTORY

The auction started in 1995 when we supported Alan Baker as the Biggest Turkey during Turkey Rama. That event was such a huge success that YCAR decided to host an annual event to raise money to give back to our community. Lydia Zimmerman, a Realtor® at the time, chaired the auction from 1995 – 2002. Naida Paris co-chaired and chaired from 2001 until 2005, and Tim Ciulla has chaired the committee since 2006.
