Hays County Food Bank hosts gala
Party for a purpose was the motto of the evening at the Hays County Food Bank Mardi Gras Gala. Guests arrived at Posey Meadows to find live music by Sour Bridges and libations with hors d’oeuvres and dinner provided by Root Cellar Catering Company. Cocktail hour was paired with a silent auction, which transitioned into a dinner service. After a rambunctious game of Heads or Tails, guests enjoyed presentations from the Hays County Food Bank, which included a video preview of their new food bank facility as well as speeches from The American Red Cross and Hays Food Bank Executive Director Lisa Young. Benefactors participated in a Paddles Up donation presentation, which raised additional funds for the Food Bank. The night ended with a Banana Fosters Station where chefs prepared flame flashed butter bourbon bananas in front of guests to pair with ice cream and their generosity.
