The 11th Annual BSA Extravaganza
"Be Prepared for Life"
Over 350 mid-state business leaders attended the 11th Annual BSA Extravaganza, held November 15th at LP Field’s Westside Stadium Club. This sports facility was transformed into an elegant setting for a gala event featuring a delicious cocktail supper, live music, and fabulous live and silent auctions. The 2011 theme was “Be Prepared for Life” which corresponds with this year’s BSA’s National Theme. The auction boasted over 270 items, including a trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, an Ultimate Titan Experience, a Nashville Predators Game “Road Trip,” golf at Chattanooga’s Honors Course, a private dinner by Sunset Grill and many other unique items.
