Trivia Question❓

In Katy, Texas, the city celebrates a yearly event known as the "Katy Rice Harvest Festival." What year was the first Katy Rice Harvest Festival held?

Answer at the bottom of the newsletter

The Texas Hill Country is reeling after Fourth of July floods left more than 100 dead, including 27 from beloved Camp Mystic along the Guadalupe River.

 

In response, Texans have united by tying green ribbons—the camp’s signature color—around trees, offering visible support and remembrance for victims and families still awaiting news of missing loved ones.

 

Katy residents are now encouraged to join this statewide gesture of solidarity and hope.

 

Across communities, from Houston to Highland Park, green ribbons and illuminated buildings serve as powerful tributes. Memorial City Mall’s glowing green stands as a local beacon of compassion.

 

Tying a green ribbon is a simple act, but it powerfully communicates unity, empathy, and collective strength.

 

Together, Katy can offer heartfelt support and let Camp Mystic’s families know their grief is shared across Texas.

The vibe?

Elegant but never stuffy.

Think cozy-chic interiors, patio views, and servers who actually know the wine list.

Perfect for celebrations, brunches, or just flexing your foodie side mid-week. Is it a splurge? Sure. But totally worth it if you want a meal that feels like a moment.
