Support this worthy cause by either making your own lariat or purchase one that will be custom made for you the night of the event.

Ticket Options:

  • $80.00 Package:  Make your own Lariat and enjoy cocktails and appetizers while networking with friends from all over the state. A generous donation goes to CWF from the ticket price.

The staff at A Bead of Roses have been busy doing all of the prep work on the lariats so that on the night of the event, if you choose to make it yourself, the hard work will be done for you...all you have to do is attach the pre-wrapped beads and crystals to the leather cord and in 1/2 hr your lariat will be customized to fit you personally. No jewelry making experience is required.

Cocktails and appetizers will be served.
