Felling Trailers, Inc. conducted its fifth annual online auction of an FT-3 drop deck utility trailer to benefit a non-profit organization, Special Olympics Minnesota. The winning bid of $2,900 was placed just minutes before the auction closed on Thursday, Oct. 5th, 2017. The bid winner was a local contractor from Sauk Centre, Kevin Middendorf, owner of Middendorf Construction, LLC. Kevin’s son had seen the Trailer for a Cause auction in the Sauk Centre Herald, a local paper and told him "Hey dad, we need a trailer, and this looks like a nice one, you should bid on it."
“So we decided to put a bid in and support the fundraiser,” said Kevin.
The 2017 Trailer for a Cause FT-3 utility trailer was painted in Felling’s Viper Red and dawned a custom decal featuring the Special Olympics logo. Felling Trailers wanted to bring awareness of Special Olympics and help provide funding for the individuals who take part in and benefit from the events and services provided by Special Olympics Minnesota (SOMN). The online auction ran for 12 days, from Sunday, September 24th through Thursday, October 5th ending with Middendorf’s winning bid of $2,900. One hundred percent of the $2,900 winning bid benefits Special Olympics Minnesota.
