     Supporting a great cause never tasted so good. Come to MacDonald’s Ranch where the hay wagons and good times will roll  for the 13th annual, fun-packed benefit for desert preservation, education, wildlife rehabilitation, Desert Foothills Scenic Drive, Pinnacle Peak Park, and Rotary charities.

     Savor a delicious buffet in a beautiful desert setting. Enjoy the live western entertainment and exhibits, including the popular Stragglers C&W Band, Bill Watters and his amazing Air Major Flying Dog Show, the Scottsdale Mounted Police unit, Earl Grey, the trick pony, and Sonoran wildlife, up-close-and-personal. 

    Your fun begins with a horse-drawn hay wagon to the festive cookout site nestled among  towering saguaros. As the sun sets, cheer the exhilarating release of a rescued great horned owl. Relax, eat, visit the exhibits, bid on the many silent auction items, cross your fingers during the $25,000 Drawing, and later, with the moon overhead, join the line-dancing fun with Mindy Hubbard - all at affordable ticket prices.
