35. Collector's Set of Boone's Farm, Annie Green Springs & Ripple in a wooden wine box
Tue Jan 15, 2019, 01:50 PM
Jan 2019

appeared on an auction at the first Christmas fundraiser my Sunday School Class held 27 years ago.

It was purchased.

It returned the following year and was purchased again.

This went on for something like 10 years, until one year the "winner" (aka custodian) of the Collector's Set of Not Exactly Wines reported that the bottles were mysteriously "broken" while in his custody. (we think they drank them)

This perennial gag gift was sorely missed for several years. It never brought much $$ but it was the thought that counted and is also indicative of the absolute insanity of the Good Neighbors Adult* Sunday School Class at FUMC Ft Worth TX

We still have that party every Christmas and raise an average of $8,000 every year. Not of course on boxed sets of Really Bad Wine
