AUBURN – The Classical Events Auction in Waterloo was canceled Saturday because of a lack of attendance, organizers said.

Organizers said they will open Sunday to sell memorabilia, lake real estate and vehicles. This is the first year for the event, which is separate from the main classic car auction held every Labor Day weekend at what was formerly called the Kruse Auction Park.

In July, Canada-based RM Auctions announced it would buy the park and conduct its own Labor Day event in the wake the state's revocation of Kruse International's auctioneer license.

In addition to the new event for Classical Events Auction, Worldwide Auctioneers, which has held a high-end sale in Auburn for several years, announced in August that it would expand its 2010 show to include a more casual general-admission sale.

The auctions are part of a full lineup of events during the annual Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival.
