The Party Continues
The excitement doesn’t end when the gavel falls. Stick around immediately following the auction for one of the most anticipated musical acts of the weekend. Shinyribs will take the stage at 8:30 pm, bringing their legendary “Gulf Coast Soul” and high-octane energy to close out Saturday night in style.
Come for the auction, stay for the music, and help us raise funds that go right back into supporting our local schools and scholarships!
