Greater Rockford Auto Auction (GRAA), an independent auto auction in Illinois, will celebrate 51 years in the auction business at the GRAA’lapalooza Anniversary Sale on June 24-25.
The headlining performer at the event will be American alternative rock band Gin Blossoms. The band rose to prominence following the 1992 release of their first major label debut album, New Miserable Experience. The first single from that album, “Hey Jealousy,” became a Top 25 hit and went gold.
In recent years, the Gin Blossoms have shared the stage with Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies, and Hootie & The Blowfish. Gin Blossoms will take the stage on Tuesday, June 24, with hits like “Hey Jealousy,” “Allison Road,” “Until I Fall Away,” “Follow You Down,” and more.
“We are honored to celebrate 51 years at a GRAA’lapalooza event that is bigger and better than ever,” said Chad Anderson, GRAA general manager, in a March 5 news release.
The event will kick off at 4 pm June 24 with 200+ vehicles running. Following the sale, local food trucks will provide food and drinks. Gin Blossoms will take the GRAA’lapalooza stage at 7 p.m.
On June 25, GRAA will welcome customers back for the main auction event with more than 1,000 vehicles running from fleet/lease and dealer consignors. After the sale, guests can win big as $10,000 in prizes are given away. GRAA Auction Event Information
