Dust off your good hat and polish up your boots, ‘cause it’s time for the Cowboy Ball on Friday, April 21.
The annual fundraiser for Polson Fairgrounds, Inc. includes a prime-rib buffet, country music for listening and dancing by the popular band Sho Down, and live and silent auctions. Doors to the big heated tent open at 5:30 p.m. at the Polson Fairgrounds, 320 Regatta Road. Enjoy a social hour with a no-host bar provided by the Perfect Shot Tavern while browsing the silent auction and live auction selections.
Dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m., and auction action begins at 7:30 with Sho Down tuning up when the live auction ends.
“We always have a nice selection of donated items for the live and silent auctions,” said PFI secretary Una Rose Graham. She encourages those with items to donate to call her at 406-883-1100.
Tickets are $60 per person with a limited number available at 219 Main and Wild Horse Framing in Polson.
The Cowboy Ball is put on by Polson Fairgrounds, Inc., a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. The funds raised are used for maintenance and improvements to the Polson Fairgrounds. Owned by Lake County, the Polson Fairgrounds have been leased by PFI since 1984.
