Meet the 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball truck, jewelry shopping spree winners
TYLER, Texas (KETK) – The 2025 Cattle Baron's Ball is in the books and there are two new winners for the truck and jewelry shopping spree raffles.
Who will headline Tyler Cattle Baron's Ball in 2025?
The 37th annual event held at the Texas Rose Horse Park in Tyler is the primary fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, who's mission is to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Jill Powell, of Lindale, bought a dozen tickets a few days before the event for the $5,000 spree donated by Susan Robinson Jewelry.
'I buy them every year for cancer. I lost my father to cancer, so every year I buy five tickets, not with the intention of winnning because it never occured to me that I might win.'
Jill Powell, jewelry winner
A total of 258 tickets were sold for the jewelry raffle for a total of $4,420 in donations.
Headliner, events revealed for 2025 Great Texas Balloon Race
Gladewater resident Isachar Perez only purchased one raffle ticket a week before the event for the 2025 GMC Canyon AT4 4×4 truck donated again this year by Hall Buick GMC.
'Being in this position. I haven't, and I don't know if I will ever have again, but it's very emotional. It's it's also very special for me, so that's why it helps me to know that even if I'm out here alone, at least that, you know, there's people like you guys, there's people like them. And I ended up getting in your vehicle.'
Isachar Perez, truck winner
Hall Buick GMC has donated a truck for the past 18 years to be raffled off during the event. This year a total of 543 tickets were sold raising a total of $54,300.
Texas country artist Wade Bowen headlined the 'Stars over Texas' event.

Top 6 concerts this week in Sarasota, Bradenton, Punta Gorda
With us in June and out of tourist and snowbird season, it's another concert picks installment made up almost entirely of musicians from Florida, and largely ones who call the Sarasota area home — at least for now. In bittersweet news, one of my current favorite bands from Sarasota-Manatee will be moving, but not before playing a farewell bash at one of their regular local venues. That same venue in Bradenton this weekend will also host a reunion show for another Sarasota-Manatee group. Other notable concerts this week will include the debut of a new venue hosting coffeehouse folk-style acts, the return of a Blues Music Award-nominated performer, and two free, day-long fests celebrating punk and blues music. Here are this week's highlights. Event details are schedule to change. Looking for more fun?

She'll be joined by Robert Killian, now living in Sarasota County but also formerly from New Jersey, where he won a Garden State Music Award for Best Revival Folk Artist, among other accomplishments including having his song "There'll Come a Day" recorded on Pete Seeger's 2010 Grammy-winning album "Tomorrow's Children." 7 p.m. Friday; Manatee Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 322 15th St. W., Bradenton; $20 at door; 941-746-0067; Soul-blues singer Betty Fox will return to Bradenton restaurant and music venue Cottonmouth for a show this weekend.
