After winter storm Fern forced the postponement of the annual Northwestern State softball dinner and auction fundraising event in January, a new date and venue has been set: Saturday evening, April 11 at Flying Heart Brewery in Natchitoches.
The new date coincides with softball’s alumni weekend series against UIW, with the auction event following the afternoon series finale.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. with the program starting at 6:30 and the evening’s meal served at 7. All tickets purchased for the original date will be honored.
Auction items scheduled for bid in January will also still be available in April. Those include dove hunting trips to South Texas with Double H Outfitters, a weekend getaway trip to Waco, Texas and a three-night stay at a lake house on Table Rock Lake in the Ozark Mountains.
There will also be a selection of silent auction items available, with bidding for those beginning as the doors open.
Individual seats are still available for $50 and VIP tables can be purchased for $450. Proceeds from the event go to benefit all areas of the NSU softball program, said head coach Jenny Fuller.
