Time Running Out to get Tickets to the Diamond Hats Gala - Join in the Fun to Support Youth at OYE
Thu, 13 Oct 2016 16:05:32 CDT
Melissa Eisenhauer, Oklahoma Youth Expo show manager and member of the Diamond Hats officer team this year, joined Farm Director Ron Hays this week to talk about the upcoming Diamond Hats Gala. This is the tenth gala in the group's 12-year history, according to Eisenhauer, and she tells Hays that people will not want to miss this year's event, and to purchase their tickets while they are still available.
"The gala is coming up October 22nd at the Embassy Suites in Norman and we're just really excited about it," Eisenhauer said. "Neil McCoy, CMA recording artist, is going to be there as our entertainment for the evening and Neil is a really fun time. We'll also have silent and live auctions and a great dinner. So anyone who would like to purchase a ticket, we would love them to come out."
The Diamond Hats started as a group of women who came together in an effort to support the young people involved with the Oklahoma Youth Expo. Their fund raising efforts from this event, along with others throughout the year go directly to that cause, according to Eisenhauer.
"Primarily, we use to purchase animals in the sale, to put that money back into the pockets of those young people," Eisenhauer said. "And really just to elevate the young people involved and these very important programs at the junior level."
Tickets to the gala are still available and can be purchased by either visiting the website at www.diamondhats.org or, Eisenhauer encourages those interested to simply call the OYE office to arrange for reserved tickets by dialing 405-235-0404.
