The Boys Town Cowboys are excited to bring our Wranglers & Stetsons to a “Boots & Buckles” themed Blue Water Bash event. We are excited to present a “How the West Was Won,” themed evening featuring entertainment from “The Neon Kings” band to express our gratitude for the incredible generosity of the Okoboji Community and the countless lives of children and families that have been forever transformed and empowered by Boys Town. For over 73 years, your unwavering support and dedication to our mission have made it possible for us to bring “Happy Campers” to the beaches of West Lake Okoboji leaving a positive impact, smiles, and countless fond memories for the youth in our care.
