N ewcomb's speech inspired generous bidding by Round Top royalty and members of the Austin and Houston social sets during the live and silent auctions. Under the spell of emcee George Lindsey of Houston's 100.3 The Bull country music station, bidders snatched up luxury offerings such as a stay at Cibolo Creek Ranch and a round of golf at Darmor Club. A pair of Taylor Swift tickets went for $16,000. The evening wound down with an acoustic set by country music great Jack Ingram and artfully prepared espresso martini nightcaps, which paired perfectly with cutie pies crafted by Royers Pie Haven.
