This unique auction format adds an extra layer of excitement to our event, allowing participants to bid on contestants and potentially win big while building community among our members.
Key details: Date: January 28, 2025

Participation: By attending the Banquet, you will be entered in a drawing to be a contestant.
How it works:
* We will select a number of contestants to compete in the event.
* Banquet attendees will have the opportunity to bid on individuals competing in the contest.
* The highest bidder for each contestant becomes the “owner” of that contestant.
