What to Expect:
Entertainment:
Throughout the night, cowboy tunes will fill the air, providing a fun, Western soundtrack for the event. During the sensory hour, music will be softer to accommodate children who prefer a more calming environment. From 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, the energy ramps up for some “boot-scootin’” fun on the dance floor.
Food & Drinks:
A hearty chuck wagon dinner will be served, keeping with the Western theme. Alongside the meal, guests can look forward to a spread of delectable desserts, ensuring that everyone leaves satisfied.

A standout feature is the Crafting Corral, where kids can unleash their creativity with hands-on projects. There’s also a keepsake photo booth, allowing families to capture memories of their evening together. For the more energetic attendees, the dance floor will offer plenty of space to show off their best cowboy moves.
With a clear emphasis on creating a family-friendly experience, the Boots & Bows Sweetheart Ball is tailored to children, particularly those in grades K-6. All the activities are designed with this age group in mind, making it an ideal evening out for younger children. Western-themed dress is encouraged, so kids are invited to don their best cowboy hats, denim, and boots.
The event will start with a sensory hour from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, featuring softer music and a calmer environment for children who may be sensitive to bright lights and loud sounds. This thoughtful touch ensures that the event is inclusive and enjoyable for everyone.
Western attire is strongly encouraged to match the theme. Think cowboy hats, boots, and bandanas! For kids, a simple addition like a hat or boots can help immerse them in the frontier spirit. Comfortable clothes are recommended, especially for those planning to dance the night away.
