Cattle Baron's Committee is Power Drilling for $3 Million

Laura Jorgeson IMG_1147 Just returned from a sneak preview of Saturday’s Cattle Baron’s Ball at Southfork. Committee members, like Laura Jorgeson with her power drill (pictured), are hard at work setting up “The Great State Fair” complete with ferris wheel, indoor midway, two mega stages for Alan Jackson and Jack Ingram and a carousel.

Oh, and just in case anyone cares about the sporting events of the day, they’ve created the Cotton Bowl, where all the day’s football and baseball will be televised on big screens thanks to AT&T.

Expected attendance: 3,000

Goal: To raise $3 million for the American Cancer Society.
