Tyler Cattle Barons’ Gala Kickoff Held Thursday

TYLER — Organizers of the Tyler Cattle Barons’ Gala are looking ahead to the big event August 20 at Harvey Convention Center. At Thursday night’s event kickoff at Cavender’s Boot City, chairperson Tomi Ellis said the excitement is in the air as tickets continue to go fast — for the gala as well as the chance drawings for jewelry and a truck. Vince Gill is the musical headliner for the big annual American Cancer Society fundraiser. Ellis points out that’s it’s hard to find someone who hasn’t been personally affected by cancer in some way.
