For the first time, Black Tie & Tails presented Boots & Bling, a western-themed event for you and your dog, and it was a boot-stomping good time! Human and canine guests alike dressed up in their best western or formal wear and enjoyed a roundup that included a reception, live music by The Waves, a delicious dinner, live and silent auctions and dancing at the Holiday Inn Harrisburg/Hershey.
Guests had the opportunity to have their portrait taken by Terry Rowe Portraiture, and all of our canine guests received a special goodie bag. Each dog was formally introduced by our mistress of ceremonies, Flora Posteraro of ABC27.
The ballroom was surrounded by tables full of items guests could bid on in the silent auction, including a basket of fine fragrances donated by Macy’s, automotive detailing donated by Bobby Rahal Automotive Group, an oak finish jewelry box donated by Mele & Company, a portrait sitting donated by Willow Street Photography, a gift basket and gift certificate donated by Classic Drycleaners, doggy gift baskets filled with leash and collar sets, treats and toys, and much more!
Our live auction items included a Yappy Hour for 10 people and their dogs, naming rights to an SSD puppy, an oriental rug, a dog-themed dinner party and a trip to Siesta Keys, Florida.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the first Boots & Bling! We hope to see you next year!
