Texas Capitol Auctioned Off, Thanks to PolkaWorks

For quite a while now, I’ve been meaning to start a series of blog posts about interesting projects that my friends are working on. Conveniently, a friend recently made news with an event at the Texas Capitol.

My friend Lori Najvar recently started a nonprofit called PolkaWorks to help preserve and feature cultural traditions through documentaries, other media, and events. One of the PolkaWorks projects is a photo exhibit on Texas auctioneers. The exhibit was on display last week at the Texas Capitol and, on Friday, Lori organized an auction demonstration in the Capitol rotunda to help bring attention to the exhibit. The event was featured on KXAN news.

If you look very closely in the video, you might see me in the crowd. And you can see some of my work on the PolkaWorks website, which I helped Lori set up.
