Van Dyke is known around the world as an entertainer, recording artist, radio and television star, actor, and veteran of the Nevada circuit. He was catapulted into country music fame in 1956 with his composition "Auctioneer," which sold over 2.5 million copies. In his 50 years-plus career, Van Dyke has recorded more than 500 songs, dozens of them making the charts. His record of "Walk On By" (1961) was named by Billboard magazine in 1994 as the biggest country single of all time, based on sales, plays and weeks in the charts. It stayed at number one in the U.S. Country chart for nineteen weeks, and in all, charted for 42 weeks, also reaching number five on the pop listings. It sold more than 1.5 million copies. Van Dyke was the opening act for Marilyn Monroe in Korea in 1953 and worked with President Ronald Reagan among numerous other celebrities. He was inducted into the North American Country Music Association Hall of Fame, International Country Music Hall of Fame and the National Auctioneers Association Hall of Fame. “Many do not realize that auctions are one of the oldest professions in history. They date back to the Pilgrim’s arrival on America’s Eastern Shores in the 1600s.” said Michigan State Auctioneers Association Executive Director, Tricia Wiltjer. “Our auctioneer and ringman competitions are open to the general public and free to attend. It’s good old fashioned fun with modern flair for the whole family.” The 57th Annual Michigan State Auctioneers Association Conference runs from Tuesday, January 26th through Thursday, January 28th at the Radisson Plaza Hotel at 100 W.
