Cattle Baron’s Ball in
true cowboy chic style
Jan. 24. Laurie and Dr.
Michael Mintz hosted the annual VIP
party at their lovely Ocean Drive
home. As the sun set on Corpus Christi
Bay, honorees and other supporters
gathered for a Julian Gold and Cavendar’s Boot City style show with the perfect fashions for the big event as well
as cocktails and conversation.
The honorees of the evening were:
Lana and Barry Andrews, The Susser
Family Foundation, H-E-B, Pepsi, KIII, and the Corpus Christi Caller
Times. I spotted some friends in the
fashion show, including Christina
Hunter, and some friendly faces in the
crowd, such as Gilda and Dick Henderson, Lori Dellinger, and Stephanie Waterman.
The fashion show was fabulous,
with adorable short sundresses paired
with the perfect pair of cowboy boots,
and guests had plenty of fun getting
ready for the main event March 25 at
the Richard Borchard Regional Fairgrounds.
