APR 6 1978, APR 7 1979 Channel 6 Nearly Sold Out Barbie Nemechek, left, and Jeane Potarf, volunteer workers at the Channel 6 Auction, sit in front of one of the bid boards Friday night-the last night of the auction. The board shows that many items already had been sold, but bidding for the Sun Home was still open and the high offer was $100,000. Money from the auction goes to support the educational television station's evening programming. Besides the home, items for sale-all donated to the television station - included art, toys, appliances, trips, sporting goods, plants, furniture, clothing, auto accessories, burglar and fire alarms, educational courses and theater tickets. The auction raised more than $404,000. Credit: Denver Post, Inc. (Denver Post via Getty Images)
