With its newly installed wood floors, old tin ceiling and vintage country décor, Shiloh Farm was the perfect venue for the American Cancer Society’s Cattle Baron’s Ball on Feb. 21. The Western-themed event offered the perfect balance of Southern charm and elegance. The main hall hosted tables of sponsors and guests, as well as a live band, dance floor, dinner buffet (by 101 Restaurant), bars and a silent auction. Connected to the country-chic barn is the 200-year-old Shiloh Chapel, which was turned into a casino for the night, where guests could enjoy multiple rounds of craps, blackjack and Texas Hold ’Em poker. The silent auction, live auction, photo booth, raffles and more offered opportunities for guests to dig into their wallets, from their hearts, to help the mission of the American Cancer Society. A highlight of the evening was a friendly longhorn steer that posed patiently for photos with guests throughout the night. Among those who tapped into their inner cowboy for the event were U.S. Rep.
