Billy Nelson spotted in Dripping Springs?

Valentino, also known as Willie Nelson, a Saanen goat owned by Kimberley Kennedy of Wimberley, was a crowd favorite at this year’s Goat Couture fashion show held at the Ranch Park Event Center Sept. 28. The event, which featured local residents and community leaders handling costumed goats, included seven goat and handler fashion competition categories. It was founded in 2023 by Hays County attorney Milena Christopher, who heads the Law Offices of Milena Christopher Charities Inc. The charity raises thousands of dollars to support Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapters in Hays and Blanco counties.
