The San Augustine County Chamber of Commerce will have their 12th annual Civic Auction this Saturday night with the theme, "Guns and Glitter". Lorei Choate is civic auction chairperson, and says this is the chamber's biggest fundraiser of the year, and goes to assist with efforts in promoting San Augustine. She says some of the fun will include a live and silent auction, raffle items and a number of other games. 

There will be guns, charcoal grills, getaways to Crystal Beach, and fishing and hunting trips.
