An Attitude of Gratitude – and Winning
It’s fall in Fort Bend and that means one thing: it’s Fair time! This year, the Fort Bend County Fair celebrates its 79th annual event, and in Fort Bend, the Fair is the official kick-off to the fall event season. We enjoyed the Downtown Stomp, which is the Grapes on the Brazos Wine Committee’s official kick-off event, last month, and now, the Fair – including the PRCA Championship Rodeo – is in full swing beginning on September 25th. Last year’s auctions alone raised over $1.6 million for the youth of Fort Bend County with their award-winning animals and art. Kudos to the many volunteers each year who make the Fair a win-win for our community.
Speaking of rodeos, this month’s cover girl is a staple each year at The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. We visited with The Q Morning Zoo’s Erica Rico, who recently moved to the Brazos area with her family. Erica shares with us how she went from a reality show to the number one rated morning show in Houston. Award-winning residents making our community home – welcome to Brazos Erica!
Award-winning also describes our GEMS of Fort Bend – the signature event that has honored Generous, Enthusiastic Men Serving for the past two years. We are proud to support our community, and in fact, it is part of our mission at absolutely! focus media – to give back to the community that has given us so much. We were thrilled to receive the Excellence in Community Service – Philanthropy Award for the 2013 and 2014 GEMS of Fort Bend from The Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals. And, we’re even more proud of our 2015 GEMS and the beneficiary: Bob Hebert, Don Kerstetter and Steve Onstad supporting The Fort Bend Family YMCA. We hope you will join us on October 22nd for this year’s award-winning event.
Coach Vince Lombardi said, “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” With a passion for service to our community, Brazos is a community that wants to win. We want our businesses to succeed, our organizations to succeed, our children to succeed. And, it takes us all, working together as a winning community to make that happen. Keep up the great work Brazos!
Absolutely yours,
