Country music superstar, singer, actor and entertainer, Trace Adkins, will be the headline performer at the 2018 Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska in Hebron on June 2.
Adkins’ trademark baritone voice has powered countless hits to the top of the charts. The three-time Grammy Award-nominated member of the Grand Ole Opry is a TV personality, actor, author and spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project and the American Red Cross, for whom he raised more than $1.5 million as winner of NBC’s “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice.”
“The Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska 2018 Planning Committee is thrilled to announce Trace Adkins as our headline entertainer,” said Rob Marsh, entertainment chair and co-host for the upcoming event. “We know he will put on an amazing show for all our guests.”
In recent years, Adkins has performed for U.S. military servicemen and women across 12 USO tours with his most recent in the spring of 2017.
Tickets to the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska 2018 event are available online. Guests are encouraged to purchase their tickets now as a sellout is expected.
Guests attending the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska are certain to have a great time, Marsh said. Popular country music entertainers take the stage both nights, while guests enjoy fantastic food and drink, featuring premium Nebraska beef and locally produced craft beers, wine and spirits.
Marsh encouraged all to attend. “It’s not necessary to be a cattle producer to attend the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska,” he said, “and you certainly don’t need to know how to dance.
“All that’s required is a warm heart and generous spirit. There’s something for everyone at this two-day event — shopping, dining, entertainment, ranch rodeo, demonstrations, art, special activities and more — there’s something fun and exciting around every corner.
“People should definitely secure their tickets now and make plans to attend. If you or someone you love has been affected by cancer, then the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska is definitely an experience you don’t want to miss.”
The Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska is a 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to raise money for cancer research. Ninety percent of the profits benefit the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Omaha, with 10 percent donated back to local communities’ health and wellness programs.
The Cattlemen’s Ball has become one of the Midwest’s premier events, raising millions of dollars for cancer research. Held in a different and unique location each year, the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska gives host communities the opportunity to showcase their area of the state.
Hundreds of volunteers, donors, patrons and friends come together for one unforgettable weekend when thousands of guests attend the ball under the big top tents beneath the stars.
The event will be June 1-2 at the Randy and Becky Hergott Farm located just outside of Hebron. For more event information and to purchase tickets, log on to cattlemensball.com.
