For people arriving a day early a 4-person scramble golf tournament will be held at the Lakeside Country Club near Johnson Lake on June 4. The Cattlemen's Ball is held to promote beef in a healthy diet and to showcase rural Nebraska. All of the money raised will stay in Nebraska with 90 percent of the proceeds going toward research projects at the University of Nebraska Medical Center Eppley Cancer Center. The remaining 10 percent will be directed to health care in the Lexington area. We are looking forward to this year's event and the strides it will allow us take toward reaching our goals in cancer research.
Tickets are now on sale for two raffles to be held during the Cattlemen's Ball.
One raffle is for a new pick-up truck. The other is a race of plastic T-bone steaks down the Phelps Canal with winning participants receiving cash prizes. Winners need not be present to win. Memorial arrangements are available for Cattlemen's Ball guests who are cancer survivors or who would like to remember a loved one who died of cancer. They will be displayed during the ball and can be taken home at the end of the day.
