A safari themed celebrity bachelor and bachelorette auction “Walk On The Wild Side” rocked the house at the new MainStage on Main (the old Sammy’s). Thursday, July 22nd Cancer Counseling Inc. hosted their 1st annual fund-raising event presented by Bristol Stone Events.

Twelve stunning bachelors and bachelorettes (6 each) generously donated their time to be auctioned off to raise money to fund counseling for cancer patients. The always fun and entertaining emcee Special K from 104.1 called the bids. Some of the celebs up for auction included  a former bachelor contestant on the ABC show, The Bachelorette, a Houston Texan's cheerleader, a Houston Astro's baseball player and many more. In addition to the sultry singles up for bid, guests enjoyed fun entertainment and mingling, appetizers and great drink specials, then a rockin' afterparty featuring live music by Blue Finger Disco, following the auction.
