| C1 | Children | Tom and Alicia Hempfling | Multi-Colored Childrens Play Teepee | Approximately 6 feet high, large enough for several children to gather inside, this canvas, multi-colored teepee was big hit at our block parties.

| A1 | Art | Tom and Alicia Hempfling | Framed Color Photograph of the Mall, Washington, D.C. | 24" X 20" framed color photo taken during the evening with a predominantly blue motif. The camera was likely located in Arlington, VA, across the Potomac River. The photo displays a fore-shortened perspective of the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and Capitol Dome, with a full moon in the background. This serene and romantic view is the way you would like to think of our Nation's capitol. I bought this piece in Washington in 1982, and it hung in my office for 29 years. I don't have a place to hang it now, and it's time to share it with someone else. | 1 | 1 | 80 | 25 | ||

| A2 | Art | Peggy Boccard | Original Oil Painting - "California Coast #1" |
| An original oil painting on Linen canvas on Hardwood Panel - The California Coast Series (5 paintings): On my first trip to California as an adult in 1999, I was sightseeing on Route 101 with a friend and we stopped by the shore. When I looked over the cliff I saw the power and pattern of moving water breaking on rocks. The movement, color and flow took my breath away. I took a number of images and ten years later made a suite of paintings based on these coastal landscapes, painting mostly with a knife to express the fluidity and aliveness of the water and rocks. | 1 | 0 | 200 | 75 | |
