Who all is going to Bobcat Bonanza this year?

I was able to get off work, so I'll be there. This will be the first year I've made it since like 2013 or something. Looks like they moved it to LBJ ballroom instead of the football stadium.

Bobcat Bonanza - Welcome

With all the silent auction items being online, we've just stayed home and bought through the website. Figured with everything we have going on now with the collective and trying to grow the website, I'd better start making it a priority to come into town for those bigger events now.

That's a good point. It does make it easy to be online for it. Of course I drove to San Marcos at a later date to pick up what I won but lined it up with a weekend trip to SA.

I made it 3 years ago but haven't made it since I've actually had the free tickets. Last year was in Dallas for a funeral and this year it looks like I'll be back overseas for it.

Probably saves me a bit of money by NOT being there for the live auction. It's seems like all my "vacations" the past few years have been from Bobcat Bonanza, FCA, Lead-Off Dinner and the like auctions.

I’ll be at the Bonanza, I’m sponsoring through Edward Jones.
On another note I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who have already signed up and join the collective! We really appreciate the support.

we do need help growing the social media pages on Twitter/X and Instagram.

We had fun at Bobcat Bonanza last night. It was a great event. I hadn't been in several years and really liked the ballroom format. They were able to separate the silent auction, food line, and the main room for the actually event. It all flowed very nicely.

Only negative I had was in regards to the silent auction. Maybe my account wasn't working correctly, but I didn't have a count down for the end of the auction and it closed randomly about an hour after it was supposed to. I feel like they would have raised more cash with a countdown as more people bid last minute and up the prices.

Everything else was great though and I got to catch up with some people I hadn't seen in a while.

This is the only thing I won, but got a good deal on it.

It was a great time last night, for sure.

The only negative was the silent auction set up. I missed a few items due to not receiving outbid notifications, but I'm sure they went to a good home.

Great event, thank you to those who attended and purchased items.
Its also a fun hobby of mine to look back at the auction items and see how the final prices panned out, view the items that didn't sell and id the highest price tag.
