RED BLUFF, Calif. — It’s round-up week in Red Bluff, actually more than a week of activities and events. On Tuesday afternoon, it was eating, drinking and auctioning at a long-time luncheon.
Pink was the color of the day at the annual “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” luncheon. It includes both live and silent auctions. All the money goes to breast cancer care at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff.
Manager of Philanthropy Delcie Strahan says, over the years, Tough Enough to Wear Pink has raised almost $100,000.
“All of the funds raised are going towards the purchase of a high-resolution monitor to be used at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with a 3D mammography machine,” St. Elizabeth’s Philanthropy Director, Delcie Strahan, told KRCR at the luncheon on Tuesday. “This piece of equipment will allow for accurate, more precise, breast cancer screenings and much quicker results.”
The packed gathering enjoyed local sirloin tip steak. This is day-six of the 11 days of round-up.
Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Commerce CEO Dave Gowan says it brings thousands of people to the community, spending $7-10 million while they’re here.
“The hotels are full, the restaurants are full, the excitementis going all 11 days. We just had a tremendous chili cookoff; an amazing cowboy coffee,” Tehama County Chamber of Commerce CEO Dave Gowan told KRCR at the luncheon on Tuesday. “There’s events every night, every day, right up through the end of round-up on the twenty-third.”
They start running the slack tomorrow, with the round-up itself set for Friday night and Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
And the puppy fetched $600 at auction. That person donated it back and it went for another $600.
