Tim and Patti Kaminski kicking off the 2014 arts season with Imperial Arts.
This holiday issue of absolutely! Brazos is all about the arts: the opening of the arts season in Fort Bend, the official Texas Commission on the Arts’ Cultural Arts District designation of Historic Downtown Rosenberg, the first Tour of the Arts event, and of course, the most appropriate art for those special Thanksgiving meals: the art of cooking.
Speaking of cooking, our cover story features recipes from three of Brazos’ finest chefs sharing their traditions, recipes and expertise with you. Meet Chefs Bobby Turner, Steven Onstad and Daniel Ornelas from three of the area’s finest restaurants as they share with you some amazing ideas to help make your Thanksgiving extra special. And I speak from experience when I tell you, these gentlemen can cook!
I’m happy to say the arts are alive and well in Fort Bend. We celebrated the opening arts’ season with Imperial Arts, we attended the first ever Tour of the Arts, and we were the first to cheer when Historic Downtown Rosenberg received the official designation from the Texas Commission on the Arts. But what does this mean for Rosenberg? So very much. Read the article on page 34 that highlights just exactly how the arts has – and will continue – to benefit the growth and economy in Rosenberg.
I hope by now you have all had a chance to read about our GEMS of Fort Bend, our Generous, Enthusiastic Men Serving, in our October issue. The scene for the amazing photographs we captured of our GEMS in this issue was none other than Briscoe Manor, a truly Texas venue that highlighted our Texas gentlemen in a beautiful setting. We would like to thank the staff of Briscoe Manor for their gracious hospitality, and if you are looking for a genuinely Texas venue for a special event, Briscoe Manor should be on your short list.
We kicked off the GEMS in Historic Downtown Rosenberg with a signature event, and in our next issue, we will bring all of the details to you. Until then, Happy Thanksgiving! From our family to yours, we wish you many blessings.
Absolutely! yours,
Patti Parish-Kaminski
