The Greyhound Adoption League of Texas is a great (or “greyt”) cause, finding homes for retired racing dogs. Tony Romo, Jason Terry, Mike Modano and other human athletes won’t be euthanized when they retire, and neither should racing animals once they’ve outlived their athletic careers. But the real reason to go to The Greyt Gala: A Mardi Gras Celebration and Silent Auction, is to see the great Burton Gilliam–of Blazing Saddles and “We don’t care how you git here, folks, just git here!” fame. Catch him, Mavs announcer Mark Followill, an ’80s cover band and more 6 p.m. to midnight Saturday at Hackberry Creek Country Club, 1901 W. Royal Lane in Irving. Tickets are $125 per person. Call 972-503-GALT or visit galtx.org.

Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
At the Dallas Observer, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,600 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of the Dallas Observer, now’s the time to give back.
