A $3 visitor pass was sold for the first time at the auction and a free shuttle bus was running from Cape Girardeau motels to the 5-H Ranch.
"These are just some ways to generate some local interest and a little bit of revenue," said Maxine Hale.
She and her husband, Dave, hosted the auction twice a year.
