Boots ’N Barbecue, the largest fundraiser for the Wylie ISD Education Foundation, may be sold out, but there are still opportunities to get involved.

The event, set for 5:30 p.m. Saturday, March 23, will happen at a new venue — the Plano Event Center— this year. Last year, Boots ’N Barbecue was held at Southfork Ranch and raised $341,000 for teachers and students, an all-time high for the annual fundraiser.
