Area merchants donated 1 80 items for the silent auction. WINTER GETS A ROUSING WELCOME Guests at Jans Winter Welcome held Saturday night at Silver Lake Lodge received the red carpet treatment from members of the Park City Ski Team. The young ski racers, in turn, were rewarded with one of the most successful fundraisers in Winter Welcome's 17-year history. According to the team's director, Dave Galusha, the event helps to cover about 55 percent of the cost of keeping members of the Park City Ski Team in competition all over the country and this year he was once again "awed" by "i the community's generosity. Organizers from Jans Mountain Outfitters and the ski team estimate that Saturday night's live and silent auctions netted approximately approxi-mately $90,000. Among the most popular live auction items were: a signed catcher's mitt from Baseball Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench, a bobsled ride with members of the Olympic team at the Utah Winter Sports Park, a day of skiing with three-time Olympian Heidi Volker, a round with the golf star Dave Stockton and an afternoon on the slopes with the K2 freeride team on a pair of limited edition, edi-tion, high performance skis. Johnny Bench himself was on hand for the live auction auc-tion which he cohosted with KPCW morning anchor Don Gomes. "These kids have proven they want to do it, that they can do it and you can really make a difference in their lives," Bench said. He also helped to un the ante on another anoth-er item by offering to sign a Burton snowboard. Then he topped off the event by throwing in a signed baseball bat. Bench's generosity, along with donated services of Deer Valley staff members and Jans Mountain Outfitters helped to make the event a record breaking success.
