Oct 19, 2018 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

As the rains return and continue to fall this afternoon, the 100 Cattle Baronesses have been hard at work at Gilley’s preparing for Saturday night’s mega-fundraiser. 2018 CBB Co-Chairs Katy Bock and Jonika Nix have been in heavy negotiations with Mother Nature to clear the skies for the festivities that include Charlie Daniels on the Winston and Strawn Live Auction Stage and Zac Brown’s Band on the Andrews Stage under the humongous tent.
