Vinton-Shellsburg wrestlers raised $7,700 during their annual labor auction Thursday evening. Area residents and  businesses  bid on the services of the wrestlers and managers, with Duane Johnson again serving as auctioneer. 

The fund-raiser will help cover the cost of equipment, wrestling camp and other expenses of the program.
