It’s Beastie Bash Auction and Fundraiser time again, Friends of the Bell County Animal Shelter’s biggest of the year. Mark your calendars now for Nov. 11. The bash takes place at the Pine Mountain State Park and Lodge in Pineville. The fun kicks off at 5:30 p.m. with a social hour and item viewing. A buffet dinner will be served prior to both a silent and live auction. Lawrence McGeorge, principal broker at Tri-State Reality and auctioneer at Auction 58, will once again be the auctioneer. There is never a dull moment whether he is auctioning off a gourmet dinner for four, a beautifully handcrafted basket, airplane rides or any one of many sought after items graciously donated by area businesses and professionals. Due to limited seating, tickets must be purchased by Nov. 5. Tickets can be purchased at Pizazz Salon in Harrogate, Tennessee, Nagle Law Office in Middlesboro, Taylor Drug Store in Pineville or from any FOS member.
