5K Steak, Stein and Wine Run

The Cameron Chamber of Commerce is excited to partner with 44 Farms to kick off a
great day of Steak, Stein & Wine Festival events on October 12, 2019 in downtown
Cameron. Rick Trevino will close the festival with a concert/dance at the Milam County
Junior Livestock Youth Expo! To set your feet a-tapping, Gordon Collier Band from
Waco will open the show. The concert/dance will take place right after dinner with wine,
beer and VIP seating available for purchase.
A delicious Ribeye steak dinner with all the trimmings--courtesy of our own local beef
producer, 44 Farms--will be served on Saturday evening with 44 Farms beef featured.
This will be a true farm-to-table event, with seating either indoors or under the Watson
Legal, PC lit tent outside. The trimmings for the dinner will be prepared by Hot Corner
and Dutchtowne Deli. Steaks will be prepared by 44 Farms. Tickets for the dinner will be
on sale soon!
