Not long after the silent auction concluded, the staff collected all the bidding boxes to tally the results. About an hour later, just after sunset, they returned holding the final list of winners and handed it to the MC.

Then the MC began announcing the winners, reading out the names alongside the artwork each person had won and the final bidding prices.
