The Brown County Boys and Girls Club are getting ready for their 11th Annual Barn Dance on Saturday, May 5th at the Sorrel Canyon Ranch, which is sure to be an exciting event as they announce their auction items and menu.
Both silent and live auctions have, as always, some impressive items up for grabs. A few of the high dollar live auction items announced are as follows:
· South African Safari for two guns: A ten day trip to South Africa with airline vouchers and lodging will allow the winning bidder and a guest to hunt two plains animals on this safari adventure.
· Fly Fishing Trip for Two: Winning bidder and a guest will have two days and nights at the famous Vermejo Park Ranch in New Mexico.
· 2012 Polaris Sportsman HO 500 4-Wheeler
· Three night trip to Sierra Verde in Cloudcroft, New Mexico
Many other impressive live auction items will be available as well.
Board President Michael Richardson confirmed there will be 20-25 live auction items and over 100 silent auction items.
Ticket holders will enjoy a dinner by Copper Creek Catering featuring Chateau Briand with all the trimmings.
A big hit last year, entertainer Gary P. Nunn and the Bunkhouse Band will be back to play as supporters Dance under the stars. Last year was such a success, another dance floor has been added outside the barn to accommodate the crowd and allow couples to enjoy the evening under the stars.
“Last year was a huge success as we surpassed our record $96,000, taking in $150,000 in 2011,” said Richardson. “We did a good job getting the word out last year and had many supporters attend, some from out of town as well.”
A limited amount of tickets will go on sale soon at $75/per person according to Richardson. For questions or to make a donation, call 325-642-8220.
