Flyers have been posted throughout RhyDin, and paid advertisements are broadcast over radio and television.

Here is your chance to get some wonderful koi for your pond! On Sunday, June 30th, @Matilda's Bloomers in conjunction with the Ichiban Koi Club plans to auction off over 50 live Japanese koi. Come bid on fish in various sizes and colors, from 6" to 22" long.

The event is being held at Matilda's Bloomers Flower Shop (located 1 block west of the Marketplace), and is open to the public. All proceeds will go to the Rhy'Din Fire Brigade.

Preview the fish at 11 a.m. Bidding starts at 1 p.m. sharp!

50% Off Discount Coupons are available on all Water Lilies sold @Matilda's Bloomers for those attending the auction!

When asked about the upcoming auction the founder of RhyDin's Horticultural Association had this to say, "We're very excited for the opportunity to help people beautify their property, and to help the communities Fire Brigade. Hopefully this will become a yearly tradition for myself and the Ichiban Koi Club."

Good PR! That's what Andrea told her.

Team Beat Down at an Auction to support the Rhy'Din Fire Brigade" Of course that would look good. What King liked about this" Being able to buy Daxia a gift without using her own dwindled funds. Team checkbook, yo.

She made sure to go in style. Decked out in Team Beat Down gear. From the red hoodie she wore pimping their symbol, to the Fist2Face T-shirt of the Beat Down Brand she wore under it. Red and Black, the colors that made up their all star dueling team on full display to all. `Good PR`, alright.

Scoping out the fish came first. She wanted to find one that looked nice. She'd try and see it become a new addition to the hotel after all — so it needed to be flashy and nice...or, should it be calming? Either way, Terry had her eye out for one special sort of fish.

"Nancy, I'm so happy you volunteered to help us with the auction tomorrow. Having someone stand at the door handing out discount coupons might seem like a trivial job, but it's not. It's very important that everybody receives one." Matilda said to the lovely nineteen year old. "What if somebody brings their kids" Do the kids get a coupon, too?"

"No, just the adults. One coupon per family," the older woman replies with a smile. "Any other questions?"

"Not right now."

"All right. If you think of anything else don't hesitate to ask."

"Okay. I'll see you in the morning at nine o'clock."

"Bright eyed and bushy tailed. Don't forget your daisies before you leave, and thank you for coming over to help set-up."

"You're welcome. Bye now, Mrs. Estwick."

"Bye Nancy!"

Final touches are added to the auction area. The sweet old lady is satisfied with the way the room looks, and heads to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.
