Since it's beginning in 1979, Mission Road Ministries’ Shindig has grown from an intimate gathering of 70 friends to become known as one of the city’s most enjoyable charity events attracting 700 attendees.  Guests enjoy seeing old friends and making new ones in a comfortable atmosphere with great food, auctions, raffle, live music and dancing - all to benefit more than 700 children and adults with developmental disabilities.

The 33rd Annual Grand Western Shindig will be hosted on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at Cowboys Dance Hall where more than 700 guests and nearly 200 volunteers continued the cowboy tradition that makes this event so unique—no black tie—boots and jeans required!

Join the fun!  Look how much fun we had at the 32nd Annual Grand Western Shindig!
