James Patterson, Jenny Gortney, Ann Smith and Jo Ann Stevens celebrate the return of Prosperity Bank as the Presenting Sponsor for the Arc of Fort Bend’s annual Best in the West Dinner, Dance and Auction.
Mark your calendars for November 22nd, and make plans to attend the Arc of Fort Bend County’s 36th edition of the Best in the West Dinner, Dance and Auction at the George Ranch Historical Park Arena in Richmond. Here are the top seven reasons to attend:
7. You’ll see friends, neighbors and people you voted for – and some you didn’t vote for – because so many people love attending this event.
6. It’s a bargain: dinner, dancing, lots of shopping opportunities and reasonably priced beverages all for $50 per ticket. Tables of ten are priced at $500, so gather up the gang and buy one.
5. Where else do you get a chance to bid on so many great live auction items? From “vacays” and “staycays” to fancy hunting excursions, from celebrity lunches and dinners to the puppy everyone falls in love with, the Best in the West auction has something almost everyone wants.
4. If live auction bidding isn’t your thing, you’ve got an Ace in the Hole Auction with 18 or 20 temptations to attract your interest and an arena full of corrals with silent auction items ranging from holiday décor to autographed sports memorabilia and almost everything in between. Bid early and often.
3. You get a barbecue dinner with all of the trimmings from The Swinging Door. Don’t miss out on the smoked turkey as a starter for your Thanksgiving dinner.
2. You can dance to the toe-tapping tunes of Fort Bend County’s hometown band, The Triumphs. Their playlist includes something everyone can dance to.
1. You get to have a great evening, great food and great music while supporting the Arc’s efforts to help those with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
So, put on your jeans and boots, grab your hat and your credit card or checkbook and join The Arc of Fort Bend County. The fun begins when the doors open at 6 pm. For sponsorship information or tickets, please contact Jo Ann Stevens at 713-829-1827 or Ann Smith at 281-240-1313.
