A BIG Thank You!

A BIG Thank You to Johnny Regula for Purchasing our Quilt at the Cattlemen’s Gala!!!


The Ohio CattleWomen had a wonderful evening at the Ohio Cattlemen’s Gala which was held on August 26. 2023. The Ohio CattleWomen’s Quilt was auctioned off. Johnny Regula purchased the quilt for a generous price! Thank you, Johnny. The proceeds of the quilt auction will go toward scholarships and canned beef for Ronald McDonald House, our Community Service Project.


The CattleWomen also sponsored a table at the Gala and donated farm toys for the silent auction. Those who attended the Gala reported that they had a great time!
