182: CL Holiday Auction Wrapup: $12,000+ to The Children’s Home, cool gifts, and a news story that will keep on giving

The big-ticket items reflected the eclectic tastes of our readership. Bidding went high for beer ($1,250 for “Taste the best of Cigar City Brewing”), broadcasting ($1,025.69 for “Co-host for a day with Cowhead”) and Henri Matisse ($500 for a private tour of the new Tampa Museum of Art and its inaugural Matisse show). The biggest ticket of all, of course, was “Buy the cover.” After a last-minute battle (aspirants included a church and a politician), the top bid came in at $1,700. As readers will find out in the issue of January 20, the winner’s cover idea may offer readers another chance to help The Children’s Home.
