Locals attend 2026 County Lovin’ Hoedown
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Locals got the chance to eat and listen to some rootin' tootin' music Saturday.
Crossroads Mission hosted the 2026 Country Lovin' Hoedown at the Pivot Point Conference Center at 1:00 p.m., where attendees enjoyed an afternoon of live music, food and dancing.
According to Cesar Acosta, the Treatment Director for Crossroads Mission, the event is to raise money for the Center of Hope, and he says they have raised $2.7 million so far.
Acosta also says they hope to raise $4 million so they can break ground on the center, which he hopes would happen this year.
He shares the benefit of having the center saying, "Wherever you drive, especially off the freeways, I've been noticing recently that, even at the turn signals, there's people there. They need a place to stay...One of the goals is for them, if we have this facility, they can come in and they can stay with us and we could start providing services to get them back into housing."
During the annual event, there was also a raffle and a live auction, with a variety of items, like two 4K 65-inch TVs, a PlayStation 5 and a kayak, being given away.
The event lasted until 6:00 p.m.
