It is a "no holds barred" bid calling contests and 
auction that showcases the brave and determined. 
Contestants provide their own quality items to be 
judges on and to help raise funds for TAA and it 
charities, including the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital 
for Children. A professional panel of judges ranks the 
top 4 with one being a WILD CARD. then there is 
shot gun finals for the winner. The event is held in 
one day , October 27 - Friday , in the historic Cowtown 
Coliseum in the Stockyards. It is held as part of the 
Red Steagall Cowboy Festival and there is no additional 
entry fee to watch and bid ! Plan to join us for the
