Rodeo club wrangles up items for annual fundraiser

The CSC Rodeo Club, sponsored by Dustin Luper, rodeo coach, is again planning on holding its yearly “Black Tie Calf Fry” at the Dawes County Events Center, 6 p.m., Feb. 19.  The dinner and auction are intended to support the efforts of the rodeo club in order to raise money for practice and travel expenses associated with the club. Last year, the club raised $7,500 and hopes to raise a similar amount this year. According to Luper, everything from “firearms to horses” has been auctioned in years past, and this year’s auction will feature both live and silent auction formats. Luper expects around 50 live auction items to be sold this year and approximately 20 silent auction items. Door prizes will be drawn every half hour.

The dinner is being catered by local Chadron bar and restaurant Feiks 120, and will feature live music. The auction portion of the event is being facilitated by Kraupie Farm Auction Services of Bridgeport.

Tickets are being sold for admission at $15 a head, and can be purchased from any club member or by contacting Luper at [email protected] or 308-432-6286.
