We are pleased to announce Cary and Anita Aasness Auctioneering as this year’s Friend of the College Distinguished Service Award Honorees. Since 2009, Cary, Anita, and their exceptional team have provided award-winning auction services as the lead auctioneers for the annual DREAMS Auction. Their expertise has consistently elevated the auction experience, making them a vital component of this successful event year after year.

Established in 1985 as a family business, Aasness Auctioneers has built a strong reputation for excellence in marketing and selling real estate, business assets, and personal property. The company’s approach combines proven sales methods with a commitment to innovation, integrity, and superior service to their clients.

In 2005, Cary fulfilled a lifelong professional dream and earned national recognition by winning the International Auctioneer Championship at the National Auctioneers Association conference. He remains an active member of several professional auctioneer associations, nationally and throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.

“The Aasness family has made a huge impact on our annual DREAMS auction and the results each year. We are grateful beyond words for their time and in-kind support to this annual event.  We are excited to be able to honor them with the Friend of the College Distinguished Service Award”, stated Kim Nelson.

Congratulations to Cary, Anita and the entire Aasness Auctioneer Team!
