The Boots and Buddies Ball, held on Saturday at The Arts Campus at Willits, brought together about 200 attendees from Parachute to Aspen.
“Families, friends, caretakers, and educators all came together to enjoy a lively evening filled with line dancing and music provided by Sway Tone DJ and a special performance by guest artist Tristan Trincado,” a news release states. “Trincado, who is in Nashville for his Gibson Guitar Showcase, signed autographs for fans.”
The main sponsor of the evening was The Little Nell and Chef Mathew Zubrod’s culinary team including Chef Aaron Williams of the Nell.
