All events will take place at the Expo Center at MetraPark on January 23rd as a fund raiser for NILE youth programs. Events for the evening will begin with a social hour at 5:30 and a prime rib and shrimp dinner at 6:30. In addition to the Johnny Lee concert, other events for the evening will include a silent auction, special recognition of NILE members and supporters, and a dance featuring Patricia Ryan and Yellowstone. After several year of working with Mickey Gilley, Johnny Lee was asked to perform in the film, Urban Cowboy (1980), which starred John Travolta and Deborah Winger, and for which he also recorded several songs used in the soundtrack. "Lookin' For Love", from that same soundtrack, became Lee's first Gold Record. The song spent 3 weeks at the top of the Billboard Country Music Singles Charts as #1, and #2 on the Pop Music Singles Charts. After that he followed up with "One In A Million", "Bet Your Heart On Me", "The Yellow Rose (a duet with Lane Brody)", and "You Could've Heard a Heart Break". His string of Top 10 hits continued with "Pickin' Up Strangers," "Prisoner of Hope," "Be There for Me Baby," "Cherokee Fiddle," "Sounds Like Love," "Hey Bartender" and "Rollin' Lonely." The purpose of the Stetsons and Stilettos Ball is to bring awareness to the youth activities and events through the NILE and raise money for these programs. In the course of a year, the NILE touches the lives of over 10,000 youth through education, scholarships, school assemblies, contests, and events. Tickets can be purchased for $50 per person or $90 per couple. Tables are available upon request. Tickets are free for current NILE Members and are allocated based upon membership level with the option to purchase additional tickets.
