"Our
Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys"
The
BHEC Ball, 2007
One of the major fund-raisers for the BHEC
is the annual Christmas Ball. The theme for 2007 was 'Our Heroes
Have Always Been Cowboys.' In that spirit, the Historic Sheridan
Inn was decked out in old-time splendor, with photos of our
cowboy heroes, and lit up with Christmas lights. The auction
items were fabulous, the band kept the dance floor full, and
the evening was a huge success!
