About Our Auctioneer

Our guest auctioneer, Autumn-Skye Port, is this year’s reigning Ms. Virginia East Coast USA and will be representing the Commonwealth at the national pageant in Baltimore this July. She has chosen to dedicate her year of service to the advocacy of animal rescue through working with Rikki’s Refuge and Winging Cat Rescue, with the goal of being a voice to help those who cannot speak for themselves.

Her passion comes from the love of her own 7 cats and 2 dogs, each adopted from shelters while patiently waiting for a forever home. A former President of the Chesterfield Toastmasters and North Carolina insurance investigator, Autumn-Skye enjoys gardening, cruising the Caribbean, antique shopping and spending time cooking for her friends and family.
