The guest speaker and the musical entertainment have been announced for the annual Grimes County True Blue Banquet.
The banquet is being held on Saturday, August 17, at 6pm at the Grimes County Expo Center in Navasota.
The guest speaker is DPS Sgt. Juan Tovar. Tovar was shot and wounded while trying to apprehend workplace shooting suspect Larry Bollin in 2021.
Bollin killed one and injured several others after he opened fire at the Kent Moore Cabinets in Bryan. Tovar chased him into Grimes County and was injured in the process.
Meanwhile, the musical entertainment for the evening will be provided by country singers Rick Trevino and Stoney LaRue.
The evening also features a steak dinner and a full bar.
Table sponsorships are available and they are also seeking donations for their live and silent auctions.
