Perry Shields displays an item for auction while Billy Jackson recognizes a bid from the back of the audience during 2018's Cullman Rotary Auction.

Cullman Rotary’s annual auction drew another large crowd Friday in an effort to raise money for local charities and projects.

Past auctions have raised more than $50,000 by Rotary. This year’s total will be known later next week.

Many businesses and individuals donate items for the auction.
