The 8th Annual Red River Dinner & Auction was held on Saturday, October 13th in the Comanche Suites of Midwestern State University.

Dinner menu is: London Broil & Chicken Cordon Blue with 3 salads (tossed, spinach and waldorf), buttered carrots, green bean almandine, and red potatoes. Topped off with marble cake, carrot cake and brownies with whipped topping
