TRYON—The Wolverine 12th Man Association is set to host its Annual Dinner and Silent Auction on Saturday, August 9, beginning at 6 p.m. The event will take place at the Tryon Fine Arts Center, located at 34 Melrose Avenue.

Additionally, a silent auction and various door prizes will be available. For a $100 donation, two adults will gain admission to this exciting event.

“Coach Frye will discuss the upcoming team and the football season ahead,” said Louise Johnson, President of the Wolverine 12th Man Association. “We’ve got some amazing silent auction items up for bid, and 100% of the money raised goes to support the Polk County Football program.”
