The theme was "Denim and Diamonds," so many guests came in western attire. Reed, right, dressed as "Texas Tex," bids on a dollhouse for his granddaughter at the annual fundraiser. The evening of live and silent auctions raised about $90,000 for the Boys & Girls Club, said club CEO/president Greg Stuart.
