Dear Sponsor

Franklin County Cattlemen’s is gearing up for our 2024 Cattlemen’s Banquet. It will be held on Saturday February 24,2024 at the Red Lion Hotel. We have a NEW and IMPROVED way that you can purchase tickets this year so please look at the information listed below. It is our goal to establish correct contact and payment information for all sponsors this year to simplify the check in process.

To purchase tickets online go to: www.cattlemenstickets.com

To purchase rooms, call Red Lion @ 509-547-0701. Give them the block code FRAN2024.

If you choose to use this form, (to purchase tickets) we need it returned no later than February 12^th to ensure that your name is printed in the program and we are able to mail your tickets to you before the event date.

Because it has been difficult in previous years to get payment on auction items, we will require all guest to check in before entering the banquet room. Please have your ID and credit card information with you at the time of check in. Credit cards are only needed if you plan on purchasing anything at the auction.

If you are uncomfortable mailing your information to purchase tickets, you can call either Cheri Horst at 509-279-9668 or Sheldon Horst at 509-539-3333 and we will take this over the phone.

Franklin County Cattlemen’s is accepting auction items if you choose to donate. We are more than happy to pick up the item(s) whenever it’s convenient for you and will gladly accept items the day of the banquet. If you know that you are going to donate, it is always nice to collect the items before so we can catalog them. You can contact any of our board members to make arrangements for pick up.

We appreciate your continued support of Franklin County Cattlemen’s and look forward to a fun night in February.  Please feel free to reach out to us if you have further questions.  Below are contacts and their phone numbers for your convenience.

Regards,

Franklin County Cattlemen’s Association
