Rows upon rows of tables lined the ballroom and foyer Oct. 28 at Hyatt Regency Sarasota.

From designer purses to a motorized mini kart, there was something for everyone at the 2017 LECOM — Bradenton Student Scholarship Auction. Guests perused the auction items and lined up at the cash bar before being seated for dinner.
