Owensboro Surplus Auction Thursday at the Sportscenter

By 9 a.m. Wednesday morning there were cars, trucks, busses, mowers, trailers, sprayers, and a pallet of other items on the parking lot of the Owensboro Sportscenter with more items arriving every minute or so.

Was that a scoreboard I just saw going by? Yep.

Inside the Sportscenter the floor was full of computers, tools, chairs, chairs and more chairs. There was a canoe, clothing, a bottle of mouthwash, even the kitchen sink.

All this and more will be sold tomorrow at the City of Owensboro's Surplus Auction conducted by Kurtz Auction and Realty Company.

Jim Knott is an auctioneer with Kurtz and he said the items range from school busses that are no longer needed to police cars and other items the city needs to dispose of.

"You can find almost anything you can think of here tomorrow", said Knott.
