350 people had alot of fun at the St. Patrick’s Grand Marshal Ball at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel March 7. Guests danced, bid on the various auction items, congratulated the Grand Marshal and his wife, Stan and Suzie Hupfeld, and enjoyed being together.

During dinner, Rev. Raymond K. Ackerman, Master of Ceremonies, and Tim O’Connor, Executive Director of Catholic Charities, welcomed everyone.

After introductions, Auctioneer Brian Preston took over the podium and auctioned everything from a signed OU football to dinner with Father Rick Stansberry and rounds of golf at the Gaillarida, The Greens, Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club, Quail Creek and Twin Hills.

Other fun auctions included a wine pull (testing Irish luck) and a playing card raffle from a television and Wii Sport game. Buddy Billen’s  Band played.  Toby Boothe was chairman.
