SAN DIEGO Dust off your boots and join the celebration. The Ivey Ranch Park Association is proud to host its 15th Annual Western Hoedown on Saturday, October 11 from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Ivey Ranch Park Equestrian Center in Oceanside. This milestone year marks 15 years of bringing the community together for a relaxed, family-friendly afternoon of western-themed fun, all in support of the children and programs supported by Ivey Ranch Park.
Guests can look forward to crowd favorites like horse-riding demonstrations, hayrides, music entertainment, steakhouse BBQ, raffles, a silent auction, a Kids Corral, ROTC Color Guard flag ceremony, and more. VIP guests will enjoy the comfort of reserved seating, table service, hors d’oeuvres, a steakhouse dinner, drinks, and raffle tickets in the VIP Lounge.
“We’re so excited to be celebrating the 15th Annual Western Hoedown,” said Tonya Danielly, Executive Director of the Ivey Ranch Park Association. “This event has become such a special tradition for us and the families we serve. More importantly, it’s a vital part of how we continue expanding our services and reaching more individuals in need. We hope this milestone year inspires even greater community support.”
For over 40 years, Ivey Ranch Park Association has provided life-enhancing care, education, and equine-assisted services to individuals with and without disabilities. Programs include therapeutic horseback riding, before and after-school care, an adult day program, in-home respite care, and more. With many families waiting years for assistance, proceeds from the Hoedown are critical to eliminating the waitlist and ensuring timely support.
The 15th Annual Western Hoedown will take place on Saturday, October 11, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Ivey Ranch Park Equestrian Center, located at 110 Rancho Del Oro Drive in Oceanside, CA. General admission tickets are $85 and children’s general admission tickets are $65, with a $20 increase for each ticket at the door. VIP tickets are available for $135 in advance or $155 at the door and include access to the VIP Lounge, steakhouse dinner, hors d’oeuvres, drinks, raffle tickets, and table service.
