I found a pic from this event on a Xanga site today, but it requires you to sign into Xanga first before viewing her site.
Here's the link, I didn't want to post it since it's not mine, but here it is.

After seeing it, all I have to say is, man, will Garth ever let us see that wedding ring? ;)

Thanks for sharing the pic--Garth and Trisha look great! (And I was thinking the same thing about the wedding ring! Too bad just his right hand shows in the pic and not his left... :D)

Go to the teammates for kids site and click on January photos- there's a photo of Garth & Trisha where you can see his ring- it looks like a plain band to me, but it is a small photo.

aww, and we can see the ring! :applause:

Thanks Barbara. :D He looks so wonderful with that wedding band on! :D

Down the strip, after his show at the Mirage, late night comedy king Jay Leno surprised Garth Brooks and Tricia Yearwood by making an appearance -- on motorycycle! -- at their Teammates forKidsFoundation fundraiser at the same resort. Jay worked the hysterically funny auction, helping to raise $1.2 million from the thousand private dinner guests. Most notable among the lots was a 1956 vintage Dodge laden with Yankees memorabilia, to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the still-unbroken record World Series game of No Hits, No Walks, No errors, with baseball greats Yogi Berra, Joe Garagiola and perfect pitcher Don Larsen, who played that game, on hand. It brought $250,000. Casino execs Bruce Himelfarb, Mirage President Scott Sebella and MGM corporate titans were there, alongside major league baseball stars Larry Walker, Greg Maddox, Reggie Sanders, Mike Hampton, Jason and Jeremy Giambi, plus courageous Olympic champion wrestler Rulon Gardner...

Highlight of the night was when the now-retired Garth took the stage to sing with wife, Tricia, including their duet 'Love Will Always Win,' which brought the house down. Garth says the only time he performs now is when it benefits his Teammates Kids Foundation, which he co-founded in 1999 with stars from hockey, football and baseball, giving 100% of all money raised to the needy kids.
