SUPPORTERS OF THE American Cancer Society boot-scooted on over to Downtown’s The Rustic venue to kick off this year’s Cattle Baron’s Ball and the tremendous fundraising efforts that go along with it.

More than 350 guests joined kickoff-party chairs Kristen Cannon and Whitney Lawson, along with the Ball chairs Janette Marx, Robin Klaes and Stephen Toups, for the music-filled cocktail bash. It included the announcement that Easton Corbin and Roger Creager will be the evening’s entertainment at the main event on Sept. 14. Held at the Hilton Americas hotel, the gala will be “Neon Lights & Bayou Nights”-themed.

Lo Sessions of country station 93Q emceed the kickoff party, where there were rowdy armadillo races and an exciting jewelry pull courtesy of Christina Greene, who recently opened a new boutique. Plus, the Blake Harlow Band serenaded guests all night long. And when there’s a stellar auction at a pre-event party — this one had items donated by Tootsies, Festari for Men, Sunless Chateau and more — you know the one at the Cattle Baron’s Ball will be a real showstopper!

Exclusive Furniture’s Sam Zavary Credits Luck, Hard Work and ‘Mom’s Prayers’ for His Success

Exclusive Furniture’s Sam Zavary Credits Luck, Hard Work and ‘Mom’s Prayers’ for His Success

How did you get to where you are today? I am a firm believer that hard work and having dreams that you strive to achieve will motivate and inspire people to achieve their potential. Working hard, dreaming, and making sure to take advantage of every opportunity is something I learned at a young age. I credit God and God’s grace firstly, but I know that success is a direct result of hard work. I tell my podcast subscribers and followers to continue setting goals, evolving, improving, and planning, and I practice what I preach. I am proud to have started my business in the fastest growing major city in the United States, and I attribute a lot of the success of Exclusive Furniture to the family culture we create in the best city — Houston’s diversity, philanthropy, and innovation have helped me achieve a lot of the milestones in the furniture business (and the “low prices”) you see today!

ON SATURDAY JULY 27, Foltz Gallery presents Endless Summer, a lively, playful exhibit of works by a multi-generational group of 28 emerging and established Texas-based artists. Taking its name from the 1974 Beach Boys double-album, which compiled the group’s early 1960s hit singles, the show is a visual “mixtape” of colorful paintings, prints, photographs, wall-based installations, ceramics and sculptures, installed lovingly throughout Foltz’s spacious and sunlit galleries. Among the works in Endless Summer are several examples of handmade “sculptural jewelry” by artist Rachel Gardner — a series of wearable wildflowers and fruits, including olives and strawberries.
