The Diamond Hats Ball is an elegant affair designed to raise money for the support of Oklahoma's agricultural youth,
primarily those involved in the Oklahoma Youth Expo. The Diamond Hats Ball is a black tie, optional event which includes dinner,
live and silent auctions, live entertainment and a host of other opportunities to contribute to the mission of supporting
young people across the state of Oklahoma. The Ball provides an opportunity for an array of business men and women as well as agriculturalists to gather in an elegant, social setting while also recognizing the Oklahoma Youth Expo Academic All-State Members (the top sixteen Oklahoma Youth Expo Academic Scholarship Recipients). In addition, a tradition has been established to honor the
Diamond Hat of the Year, which is awarded to a woman in agriculture who has worked tirelessly to promote Oklahoma's agricultural industry as well as offered incredible support to those involved in the industry.
