Our local NBC news just reported on the Sonoma Valley Harvest Auction held today. They specifically reported that a golden retreiver puppy was auctioned and brought $2800 - "a good thing". I know we have had some very elegant letter writers before on the topic so if anyone is interested in communicating with the parties to this auction they are The Sonoma Valley Wine HArvest Auction, the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn where the auction was held, and NBC news San Francisco who thinks this is a good thing.
