Highway 34 & County Road 17
Cattle Baron’s Ball is a fabulous, Western-themed gala celebrating 33 years in Northern Colorado, where over 1,000 cowboys and cowgirls will come together for an evening of good ole’ western fun and philanthropy!
The Cattle Baron’s Ball is a premier fundraising event, and for more than three decades the Northern Colorado Community has supported this event and the mission work of the American Cancer Society, raising over $12 million.
Grab your hat and dust off your boots for what promises to be a toe-tapping, knee-slapping, rip-roaring, kick up your heels good time to make a measurable difference in the fight against cancer.
Cattle Baron’s Ball is a 21+ years event.
Evening Program
