Join us for an exhilarating episode of Beyond the Rodeo as we relive the magic of the recent Bootlegger Ball hosted by Western Sports Foundation in Austin, Texas. Aubrey O'Quin and Mai-Brit Harvey take us through the vibrant 1920s-themed event held at the historic Driskill Hotel. From the dazzling flapper dresses to the dapper suits, the evening was a visual feast.
The night honored remarkable individuals like Linsay Rosser-Sumpter, Sage Kimzey, Justin McKee, and Outlaw Partners for their significant contributions to the Western space. The heartfelt recognitions and emotional moments truly showcased the strong community values and support for rodeo athletes.
The evening underscored the importance of acknowledging the efforts of those who tirelessly support and uplift the community, emphasizing the deep bonds and shared commitment to giving back. The festivities wouldn't have been complete without acknowledging our amazing event partners and the excitement of our auctions. We extend our gratitude to all our sponsors, including The Austin Gamblers, Tecovas, Boot Barn, Smarty Rodeo and more, whose support made the event a resounding success. A themed photo booth presented by Smarty, a TruWestern scent bar, as well as both live and silent auctions presented by Boot Barn added layers of fun and engagement for all the attendees.
Highlights from the gala, such as Ezekiel Mitchell's heartfelt speech about the WSF's impact on his life, brought the community together in support of WSF'S mission. Listen in as we reflect on these memorable moments and look forward to future events that promise more fun and community engagement.
