The $150,000 Bag of Onions

October 26, 2011

 Due to damage from hurricane Irene, one Hudson Valley farm is auctioning off a very expensive bag of onions on Ebay.

The 100 acre Pawelski Family Farm lost close to half a million dollars due to Irene's harsh nature.

"My personal situation is grim so I sat down and I thought what can I do and it popped in my head," Chris Pawelski said.

The family is hoping for an onion angel to relieve their current hardships.
