Georgetown Chamber of Commerce Bar-Bid-Cue

The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual Bar-Bid-Cue auction fundraiser July 29 at Reunion Ranch.

The event featured a barbecue dinner and a silent and live auction as well as several games, including Carrots for Karats, in which participants search for a token in a piece of carrot cake to exchange for diamond earrings from Quenan’s Jewelers.

Chamber President Karen Sheldon said the event, which raised more than $30,000, is the chamber’s largest fundraiser of the year, and the money raised helps keep membership costs low and allows more businesses to participate in the organization.
