Down Home Ranch RoundUp 2010 – April 9 & 10

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

You’re cordially invited to the 2010 Ranch RoundUp, benefitting Down Home Ranch. We’ll be swinging on the links and swinging under the stars as we dance the night away.  On Friday April 9th, saddle up and git your spurs on! We want you to ride for the DHR brand! We’re headed for Sam Bass territory—Round Rock, Texas—and the annual Down Home Ranch Golf 4-person Scramble at Teravista Golf Club. They’ll mow the mesquite, sell you all the mulligans you want, give you a cart and range balls, feed you great fajitas and a beverage of your choice—and hey, you get to take off Friday afternoon to help folks with disabilities. How’s that for a real Texas deal?  Y’all love Texas? Well then you’ll love the 5th Annual DHR Gala—Saturday evening April 10th – with real Elgin barbecue catered by Southside Market, the Taste of Texas wine bar from Fall Creek Vineyards, and the fabulous Quebe Sisters Band, fiddles and harmony, heading a revival of real old fashioned Texas swing. We’ll have a silent auction with the best stuff ever, and a live auction that will dazzle you, as auctioneer Gayle Stallings takes the floor, auctioning great items, like five nights at the Ritz-Carlton, Aspen Highlands, Colorado. All this and more! Details: http://www.downhomeranch.org/eventsgolfgala.shtml
