» 4th Annual Emerald Coast Cattle Barons’ Ball
All cowboys and cowgirls will be on hand and ready for fun at this wild, wild Western-themed event. The 4th Annual Cattle Barons’ Ball is a high-energy community event that guarantees a good time for a great cause. All proceeds from the ball benefit the American Cancer Society. On Saturday, March 19, grab your favorite cowboy hat and boots, polish your big belt buckle and mosey on down to the Sandestin
Golf and Beach Resort. Guests will enjoy food from some of the area’s leading restaurants, chefs and caterers. Between noshes on delectable bites, plan on dancing the night away to the sounds of The Modern Eldorados. In addition, live and silent auctions will take place throughout the night. Cattle Barons’ Balls are the world’s largest single-night fundraisers for cancer research.
It’ll be one night of fun that will make a difference for a lifetime. The festivities begin at 6 p.m. and don’t end until the cows come home. Baron and Rancher table sponsorships are available, as well as individual tickets. For further information contact Kay Phelan, 2011 Cattle Barons’ Ball chair, at (850) 376-1551, or e-mail inquiries to kayphelan@ earthlink.net. — Brandon Neasman
