"Conway is 30 minutes from here" started a sentence nearly every day for three weeks straight. That's how Kyle Kyle opened our eyes to the home of UCA and what would, on one Tuesday, become a historic landmark for me, Ginger, Kyle Kyle, and one of his friends.
Growing up in the rust belt, one doesn't have much of an opportunity to witness a good old-fashioned auctioneer at work. I only know of the quickly spoken craft from the folks at Mecum, but all they auction is cars.
Perhaps that's why during the cold and rainy last Tuesday of my stay in Little Rock, we headed to the great cattle barn of Conway, AR.
I had hoped to see a few cowboy hats, and I was certainly not disappointed. Even the auctioneer fancied a Stetson.
But if that wasn't exciting enough, the highlight came from Kyle Kyle, as he exclaimed:
Man, I hope a velociraptor comes out of there next. I'd be like... 2000!Which probably isn't the best of things to yell during a live auction. Fortunately, he wasn't out $2,000 by the end of the night.
Fun Fact this is now a thing: "hey, remember that time we went to the cattle auction?"
