owboys and cowgirls donned festive, western holiday wear for the 2018 Cattle
Barons’ Ball Branding Party on September 14 at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. The
Branding Party is held annually in anticipation of the upcoming Emerald Coast
Cattle Barons’ Ball. This event was previously held every spring, but the main event
has transitioned to the holiday season and will be held on Friday, November 30, 2018, within the
Linkside Center at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
With over 43 sponsors already signed up to ensure the success of this year’s event, guests
should plan to wear their dancin’ boots and get ready to rock along as the entertainment will
feature local favorite, The Modern Eldorados, back by popular demand. Cowboys and girls
will also enjoy live and silent auctions, complimentary drinks and fancy vittles from the area’s
leading restaurants and caterers. The Cattle Barons’ Ball benefi ts the American Cancer Society
by raising funds for cancer research, advocacy, education and patient services. “Baron and
Rancher table sponsorships are available at multiple levels, as well as individual tickets at
$175. Additional sponsorships are still available for businesses and individuals interested in
supporting the cause,” said Laura McWilliams-Dennis.
