Auction Attracts Visitors
The former econofoods location on North Henderson Street here in Galesburg was the site of a public auction yesterday (Tuesday).

Econofoods, which closed its doors back in 2008, held the auction that attracted out of state visitors such as Lance Perkins.

Perkins tells WGIL just what brought him from Wisconsin down to the Galesburg sale.

"Well my wife and I are opening up a bakery about twenty minutes south of Madison Wisconsin, and we needed to buy some bakery equipment for it."

Perkins also tells WGIL that this is the fourth Grafe auction he and his wife have attended.
The auction went on most of the day selling anything from shelving to cash registers.
