The Ellenburger Cup

Our Project Goal & Mission

In 2022, because of the success of the annual Catkins Ball fundraiser, the San Saba Polo Club sought out and partnered with The Community Foundation of San Saba County in a coordinated effort toward building a new Livestock Show Barn in San Saba. The event has successfully raised in excess of $100,000 over the past two years with the Foundation adding $100,000 in matching funds.

To make the new facility more valuable to the entire county, the new Livestock Show Barn is being planned as a multi-purpose building which can be used year-round for events and activities. In a continuing effort to make this goal become a reality, The Community Foundation of San Saba County and the San Saba Polo Club will conduct the 3rd Annual Polo Match fundraiser on September 7, 2024. Beginning this year, the event will be named The Ellenburger Cup, after the aquifer sitting below the Fleming Springs Ranch.

Several other organizations are also participating in efforts to help build a new Livestock Show Barn. Other organizations have also offered their support including the FFA, San Saba Livestock and Rodeo Association, Ag Departments at the three San Saba County high schools, Young Farmers and many other groups and individuals.

The Community Foundation is active exploring construction ideas and has visited similar facilities in nearby cities. The City of San Saba has been very supportive of the overall effort. San Saba County is also considering involvement since a new multi-purpose facility will benefit the entire population of the County, particularly the youth.

The primary sponsor for this year's event is Moak Casey, proven leaders in advancing Texas schools.
