FRAME BUILDER - VOL7 NO1 / 51 NFBA RAISES NEARLY $5,000 FOR INDUSTRY PROGRAMS T he National Frame Building Association (NFBA) welcomed attendees to an unforgettable evening at the NFBA Expo Social & Foundation Auction in Oklahoma City — an event many are already calling one for the history books. With a lively rodeo theme setting the tone for the evening, attendees enjoyed authentic Oklahoma City barbecue, live entertainment, interactive games, and plenty of opportunities to connect with industry peers. The atmosphere reflected the strong sense of community that continues to define the NFBA. A highlight of the evening was the live music performance by Bailey Rae. Deeply rooted in country music and western culture, Bailey Rae has been performing since the age of 13 on stages across the country. In 2020, she gained national recognition on NBC’s The Voice, becoming the first country artist on Team Legend and ultimately finishing Season 19 as a Top 9 Semi-Finalist among more than 44,000 auditions. Attendees also embraced the event’s playful side with the popular “jail” fundraiser. For a donation to the foundation, participants could have a colleague, competitor, or friend “locked up,” leaving the accused to raise bail money for their release. The activity generated plenty of laughter and friendly rivalry throughout the evening. Additional attractions included carnival-style games, networking opportunities, and the highly anticipated cornhole tournament. With 10 sets of boards in play and dozens of competitors and spectators cheering, the tournament quickly became one of the night’s standout events. For guests looking for even more excitement, the mechanical bull delivered plenty of entertainment. NFBA FOUNDATION BAILEY RAE
