Join The Ranch every Tuesday night at The Railhead Smokehouse for the 4th Annual Ranch Pitchin’ Party!

Registration begins at 5:30 pm on site at The Railhead in Willow Park and the bracket style tournament begins at 6pm.  There are only so many slots available each week so make sure you arrive in plenty of time to get your name on the board.

It’s a $5.00 entry fee but you have a chance to win it all back plus some if you become the Pitchin’ Party Champion.  Weekly winners automatically move to the Championship Round in week 13 and the weekly runner up with return in week 13 for a “pitch out” to determine the final four slots in the bracket.
