Scene Around Town: State Fair of Texas and Preservation Park Cities

As Society Editor for the Katy Trail Weekly I oversee the publication's Scene Around Town feature, which shines a spotlight on nonprofit and community events each week. In this week’s September 26 issue, I’m featuring scenes from the Saddle Up hosted by the State Fair of Texas where over 300 attendees recently gathered at The Rustic for a benefit concert. 100% of all proceeds from the evening benefited the Big Tex Livestock Auction and Scholarship Programs, which provide vital educational opportunities for children across Texas. Also featured was a shopping event held at Veronica Beard with a give-back on purchase in the Highland Park Village store to help celebrate Preservation Park Cities mission of preserving local history and architecture.

Have an event you’d like to submit for editorial consideration? Here’s what you need to email me:

• Send a minimum of 4 images for consideration.

  • No more than 4 people in each shot.

  • No repeats (meaning the same person can’t be in multiple shots)

  • Guests need to be posed and smiling into the camera. No candids.

• You must ID the people in each photo (left to right)

• Tell me the name of the event and provide a brief description of the event (no more than 75 words)

• Please send one event submission per email with the name of the event in the Subject line
