Pop Fest was festival FABULOUS!
(scroll ⬇ for photos)
Together, we raised $200,000 for Pop-Up Birthday and kids in foster care!
With 240 attendees, we sipped boozy snow cones by Sno-Beach, enjoyed festival fare from Hat Creek Burgers and the cutest custom cookies by Westlake Bakes. WAYA was FILLED with balloons, decorations and our huge ACL themed photo box, all thanks to Starr of Texas Balloons and her husband, Tony Cuellar.
Gala Committee Chairs, Keri Walling and Lauren Petrowski emceed Pop Fest and helped get everyone out of their seats for Head or Tails and Paddles Up. Guests enjoyed their custom chain stitch bandanas by Brookside Bobbin, and added glitter and braids by Paige and Co. Salon. Everyone danced the night away thanks to DJ Wizard and got into the theme with their best festival fit.
