Ray Henry of I.R.A.Y. Auction recently returned from the Minnesota State Auctioneers Convention in Moorhead with 10 marketing awards, the most ever won by a single auction company at the annual convention.

Receiving four awards from the Minnesota State Auctioneers Association for its website, www.iraymn.com, and its email and social media promotions is a testament to I.R.A.Y. Auction's embrace of new technology to educate and inform its customers.

I.R.A.Y. also won three awards for print and signage media and three more for photographs, including the Wild Card for a picture taken at one of the many benefit auctions at which Henry volunteers his services to give back to the community.

Henry is a third-generation auctioneer who founded I.R.A.Y. Auction in Foley 19 years ago to sell heavy equipment, trucks, trailers and land. He is a member of the Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and National Auctioneers Associations.

The Minnesota State Auctioneers Association is an organization of auctioneers who strive for professionalism in their field.
