2019 McAllen Chamber Gala

This is probably one of my favorite photos from last night’s gala.

Another McAllen Chamber Gala has come and gone and as always the chamber went all out at new location, the McAllen Embassy Suites Hotel. This year the chamber honored Bob Boggus (of Boggus Ford) and Jessica Delgado of SALT and House.Wine in McAllen.

I think this was my fifth gala that I’ve been invited to cover and as always it’s a big reunion with friends that I haven’t seen in a while. It’s always great to catch up with everyone and hear what they’re planning for 2020.

Probably one the best things about covering these events is the positive energy that comes out of the whole thing. I’m not talking about receiving the award, it’s the stories that come out and how hard they’ve worked to be part of the McAllen community. And as always they have lots of friends and family that have stood by them supporting them every step of the way.

As much as McAllen has changed since I was growing up there, it’s still growing and it’s great knowing there are people that still believe in reinvesting into the community and volunteering their time.
