'Sold!' Auctioneers compete in Moorhead

The Minnesota State Auctioneers Association is meeting this week in Moorhead, Minn. On Thursday night, they held their annual contest to choose the champion auctioneer.
The winner — Scott Mihalic — will spend the next year serving as a spokesperson for the association. He will also host next year's contest.
