YMCA to Cowboy Up for Kids

Folks in the Custer area are being invited to “Cowboy Up For Kids” on Saturday, March 12, when the YMCA Child Development Center holds its second annual fundraiser. As the name implies, the theme of this year’s event is a western one. The event hosted by the Custer Beacon will feature mechanical bull rides, a Texas Holdem tournament and a silent auction.
The day will begin with the Texas Holdem tournament from 12 to 4 p.m. with a $25 buy-in. From 4 to 6 p.m. open riding will be offered and kids are welcome to ride the tamed down mechanical bull.
Beginning at 7 p.m. there will be a calcutta of riders which will end at 7:30 along with the silent auction. The competitive bull rides will take place between 8 and 9 p.m.
Ticket prices include an individual ticket for $50 which includes food and two drink tickets. A $500 ticket gets eight entrance tickets, food and 16 drink tickets. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door on the night of the event that will not include drink tickets. The ticket pre-buy deadline is March 1.
Child care will be available at an additional charge.
