Auction Puts Bachelors On The Block Easter Seals Bachelor Auction Offers 41 Studs For Sale

Hey, ladies, dig out your checkbooks and prepare for a night to remember with the seventh annual Easter Seals Bachelor Auction. “An Evening of Elegance” is set for Friday at the downtown DoubleTree Hotel.

Hors d’oeuvres will be served at 6 p.m. and bidding will begin at 7:30 p.m. The KZZU Breakfast Boys, Ken Hopkins and Dave Sposito, will oversee the auction of 41 men, who range in age from 23 to 66.

“This is the most incredible group,” says Renee Anderson of Easter Seals, which will benefit from this fund-raiser. “They are all the nicest men, very professional, very anxious to participate in this. The majority of the men have never been married and don’t have children.”

Here is a sampling of some of the bachelors up for bid and their date packages.

Fritz Rosekrans, 63, describes himself as a “1934 model with high mileage but well maintained, almost all original parts, everything works, two previous owners, doesn’t smoke or burn oil.” Rosekrans, a psychologist, plans to take his date on a motorcycle ride to Williams Lake for lunch and swimming, followed by dinner and dancing at Ankeny’s.
