Happy hour takes place as everyone mingles during the Odessa Athletic Booster Club Auction on Friday, Oct. 21.
Serving tables decorated and ready to serve a prime rib dinner at the auction this past Friday.
ODESSA–The Athletic Booster Club raised $50,000 before expenses at their annual auction on Friday, Oct. 21.
A total of 165 tickets were sold by Travis Schuh and Odessa Drug.
The Booster Club and volunteers decorated the community center where the auction took place in The Tiger's theme.
Each table had fresh bread and croissants with garlic or sweet honey butter.
There were also dessert auction envelopes placed on the tables, and this was continued and started in 2021, where entire tables could bid on desserts.
The dessert table was full of home-baked goods from those that chose to donate.
Before the auction started, it was happy hour and the prime rib dinner with sides of caesar salad and loaded baked potatoes. Christine DeVore, Barbra Walter, Jeff Melcher and his crew all helped prepare the feast.
Jade Stewart of Wilson Creek organized the dessert auction and Danielle Hardung decorated.

The silent and live-on-the-side auction offered an array of items. There were 87 options on the silent auction and eight on the live-on-the-side.
