The MonDak Area Stockgrower’s Association has partnered up with the Foundation for Community Care to bring the area a night of rockin’ good fun, music and dancing. The 1st Annual Cattlemen’s Ball will be held Feb. 23rd at the Richland County Fair Event Center. There will be a social at 6:30 followed by a prime rib dinner catered by The Ranger Lounge at 7. The live band will start at 9 with plenty of dancing until midnight.
The evening will give guys and gals a chance to get all dressed up and go out, as the event is formal/semi-formal. The evening will also include a silent auction, live auction and door prizes. The cost for the evening is $45, which covers the prime rib dinner and an entry for door prizes, one of which is chaps custom made by Wade McMillen. Attendees must be at least 21 to attend, as alcohol will be available. Tickets are available for purchase at The Lucky Buckle and at the Foundation for Community Care, but they are going fast and only 350 tickets will be sold.
Some people in the area may remember the Cattle Crawl which was held in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Cattle Crawl was a chance for locals to sample beef dishes at a variety of local restaurants. The event was held to showcase beef and its healthy benefits, which is also the focus of the new Cattlemen’s Ball.
Members of the MonDak Area Stockgrower’s Association had been talking about doing an evening like this for a while, and finally decided to just do it. The event aims to increase awareness of heart health and the health benefits of beef in a diet. They invite the whole community to come together to have fun and support a cause, as proceeds will go to the American Heart Association and to the Foundation for Community Care to support local healthcare. Businesses and individuals have an opportunity to be a sponsor to support the cause with three different levels of sponsorship including the sirloin level at $500, the New York strip level at $1000, and the prime rib level at $1500. Sponsorships will include a number of recognition and advertisement opportunities throughout the evening as well.
Marci Albin, member of the MonDak Stockgrowers Assocation, stated, “It’s not just for farmers and ranchers. Put on your dancing shoes, cocktail dress, and come out for a rockin’ good time.”
