BUNKER HILL -- With nearly two inches of rain Thursday night into Friday morning with the possibility of more, Hallmark Homes has planned to move the charity auction from the "Extreme Makeover" site.

Instead of being in the field across from the home, the auction will be held at Hanger 200 in the Grissom Aeroplex at 2075 Hoosier Boulevard, which is near the main gate.

Check-in to register for bidding will be at 1 p.m., said Paul Schwinghammer, Hallmark Homes president. The auction is planned to begin at 2 p.m., or a little later, he said.

"We are looking for new products of any kind or any antiques," he said. "Anything that would sell good at an auction."

The design team is also participating in the auction to benefit the Cowan-Brown family.

"There will be autographed items signed by the design team, hard hats and t-shirts signed by the design team," he said. "We will also have some special products that the design team has been working on for Kori (Brown)'s fundraising efforts. It's going be a team effort between everybody including the design team to try to raise money for both Kori's fund and for the family."
