Reflecting this year's “Paint the Town Trailblazer” theme, the ballroom was transformed into a striking runway, with colorful, paint-splattered logos displayed on hanging screens. Six remarkable women—Beth Briscoe, Christy Stern, Lisa Schutzenhofer, Michelle Verbois, Rainey Janke and Teresa Jordan—were added to this year's list of honorees, celebrated for their unwavering volunteer spirit and dedication to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Their combined 159 years of service on Rodeo Committees, marked by their time, talent and generosity, left the crowd in awe. To blend fun with fashion, Saks Fifth Avenue presented a show by Lenny Matuszewski and Tamara Klosz Bonar, adding vibrant energy and excitement to the celebration. Guests also had the chance to shop from a curated boutique selection. And what's a celebration without an afterparty? Over 1,000 guests continued the lively day until late afternoon, with DJ Johnny Bravo ensuring the dance floor stayed packed.
