For more than three decades, the American Cancer Society’s Lubbock Cattle Baron’s Ball has raised money for cancer research and services for cancer patients. This year’s Guitars and Cadillacs event marks the 34th Cattle Baron’s Ball, scheduled for July 30th at the V-8 Ranch. Pre-party events begin at 5 p.m. at City Bank, 5219 City Bank Parkway. Transportation will be provided from City Bank to the V-8 Ranch beginning at 5:30 p.m. for those with Baron’s tickets, 6:30 p.m. for those with Wrangler’s tickets.
The event will feature entertainment Reckless Kelly and Nightowls. Grammy-nominated Reckless Kelly, an Austin, Texas based Americana/Texas Country band will headline the night. New to the ball this year, the Nightowls will both open the party and finish out the night.
Cattle Baron’s Ball offers something for everyone; enjoy a variety of tasty treats and eats Route 66 style provided by Café Venture Company.
