🎤 Returning for his third year, 93.7 K-Country’s Lewis Stokes will emcee the evening — and this year’s theme fits his signature cowboy hat like a glove.
Attire is black-tie optional, but guests are encouraged to add a touch of Western flair to their formal wear. Think bolo ties, fringe, rhinestones, or a pair of polished boots to kick up the fun while keeping it classy.
