Special to The Leader
Polish off your boots and dust off your hats! The Lamar State College-Orange Foundation has set Saturday, April 23, as the date for its fifth annual “Boot Scootin’ at the Brown Estate” fundraiser. The evening will begin at 7 p.m. with a “social hour” and barbeque dinner that will be followed by dancing to the music of the band Twangsters Union. Guests will be seated under tents so that they can enjoy the springtime ambience and beauty of the Brown Estate grounds.
The “Boot Scootin’” event is the primary fundraiser for the Foundation. The proceeds support the Foundation’s scholarship program and its efforts to aid in the development of the downtown Orange campus. Over the past five years, the Foundation has awarded over $362,500 in scholarship aid to LSC-O students and has assisted in the acquisition of property for campus expansion.
Tables to the event are available at several different sponsorship levels: Platinum Buckle Baron–$5,000; Gold Buckle Baron–$2,500; and Silver Buckle Baron–$1,000. Sponsor tables seat eight guests and include the cost of valet parking, food, and drink. A limited number of single tickets are available and priced at $100. Tables and tickets can be reserved by calling (409) 882-3314. Reservations must be made by April 7, 2016.
