Cowgirl CHIC!

Our Women's Club in our neighborhood puts on a holiday party/auction every year. I have gone to it every year that I have lived in the neighborhood (3 years) and it is usually a lot of loud, festive fun. This year was no exception! The auction chairperson, Jennifer, coined the theme for this year to be "Cowgirl Chic" (pronounced 'sheek' vs. 'chick'). It was such a big hit! The decorations were awesome and a lot of the guest brought 'cowgirl' themed gifts. The house that we had it is was one of those houses that keeps going and going and going. This is a good thing when 50 women are all moving about.

The auctioneers were some neighbors that like to dress up and talk with accents. They had this act going the whole time, complete with funny names and all. They did a great job trying to keep the other women focused on biding on items that normally would not have received a second glance. It was not unlike herding cats with a little tuna on your fingertips: they would pay attention, then wonder off, then back on track with the bidding again...

Lots of fun conversation, gifts and prizes to be had by most!
