From classic cars to unique samples of taxidermy, roughly 2,500 items will be auctioned off at the Marion County Fairgrounds this Saturday, May 14. It’s all a part to clear out the city’s museums and storage facilities, which city officials say are so full, a number of them have actually become unsafe. “Everything that you see here represents a multiple, in some cases, many multiples of items that we have that are still on display in our museums,” Hillsboro Mayor Lou Thurston said. Dozens of volunteers across multiple city departments helped make this weekend’s auction possible.
