What do you get when you mix live music, tender beef, and a barn full of purpose?
You get one of Ohio’s most anticipated late-summer gatherings—where boots meet black-tie energy, and every bite and beat supports the future of agriculture.
The 2025 Cattlemen’s Gala, hosted by the Ohio Cattlemen’s Foundation in partnership with the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association, kicks off on Saturday, August 23 at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. It’s more than a dinner party—it’s a celebration of community, connection, and the next generation of leaders in the cattle industry.
Guests can expect an evening full of hometown charm and heartfelt giving: lively music, hand-crafted drinks, beef with all the fixin’s, homemade desserts, and plenty of time to catch up with old friends—or make new ones. And at the heart of it all? The youth scholarship fund, which helps young people with a passion for agriculture pursue their dreams.
If you’re in or around Delaware, OH, this is your invitation to dress up, dig in, and do some good while you’re at it.
