Boot Scootin Ball at Bar K R Ranch

Maggie went to her first Boot Scootin Ball at Bar K R Ranch, which is where we board our horses. The Boot Scootin Ball is a fundraiser for the local volunteer fire department, PVES, so it's a good thing to support.

The PVES Foundation volunteers transform the arena at Bar K R into a party. The soft dirt is packed down like concrete. They add a bandstand and dance floor. Tables, chairs, bars and food tables take up the rest of the arena. They add an extra tent and use the big bays for the silent auction. Food is catered by Eddie Deen.

This is a big deal for Pottsboro and a whole lot of fun. This year is the 40th anniversary of PVES.



Below is the entry into the arena:

We were able to get tickets for one of Dave Penderey's tables this year:



Our table was adorned by this beautiful, sweet young thing:



There was a live auction, and Maggie got to see her first female auctioneer at work. After the live auction, the band rocked the arena.



But...no scootin for our boots. We picked up our silent auction items and bounced home in the Jeep.
