NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State softball plans to "Let the Good Times Roll" at its annual auction.
 
The Mardi Gras themed fundraising event is set for Jan. 18 at Riverside Reserve (104 Mill St.) in Natchitoches. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the auction, dinner and drinks event.
 
Among the list of items that will be available for bid on the night include dove hunting trips to South Texas, a weekend getaway trip to Waco, Texas and a three-night stay at a lake house on Table Rock Lake in the Ozark Mountains.
