They may be purchased at the school, at a secure online website or at the door, she said.

A Kids Korral Child-care program for children ages 3-12 will be provide, staffed by Tyler Nanny Services at the Upper School campus.

Cost is $15 per child, and includes pizza and snacks, a petting zoo, western fun and games, and visits from the school mascots, Sarge and General Guard.

Humphries said reservations for the service are required, with drop off as early as 5:45 p.m. the night of the event.

Among the live auction items are a $3,000 bathroom make-over package and a 10- x 12-foot gabled roof storage building constructed on side by Brook Hill instructor Travis Bunger and several students.

Attendees also can bid on a variety of silent auction items, like sports collectibles, artwork, college sports games, a two-night cabin rental, tickets to the musicals “Dream-girls” and “Spamalot” and a set of four admission tickets to Splash Kingdom Waterpark, among others.

Music will be provided by the Taylor Heard Band, while live and silent auctions are planned.
