Victoria Bach Festival extends a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped make our annual Mariachis & Margaritas fundraiser on Sunday, October 18, at Club Westerner a success. It was a wonderful evening of lively music, food and fellowship, all in support of the Festival’s mission to bring exceptional music and educational opportunities to South Texas.
We are especially grateful to our event underwriters: Dawn and Grey Marshall (bar); Toyota of Victoria and Victoria Dodge (catering); Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba (entertainment); Bill and Pat Blanchard (invitations); and DeTar Healthcare System (photography). Thank you also to our Añejo Table sponsors: Atzenhoffer Auto Group; Bill and Pat Blanchard; John Griffin and Lynn Knaupp; Toyota of Victoria and Victoria Dodge; Villafranca & Villafranca PC; and Ron Walker. Your generosity helps make this event possible.
A special and sincere thank-you goes to the Victoria Bach Festival Board of Directors, particularly the Mariachis & Margaritas event committee. Their hard work, countless hours and commitment behind the scenes are essential to bringing this celebration to life. We are fortunate to have such dedicated volunteers who give their time and talents to support the Festival. Special thanks to David Faskas, VBF board member and event chair, for his leadership and direction on the event planning and execution.
We also thank Wild Thyme Catering for the delicious food, Julian Jimenez, Mariachi Nuevo Victoria and Ballet Folklórico for their outstanding performances, auctioneer Marvin Seitz, DJ Russell Fowler for sound and our emcees, Deputy Chief Eline Moya of the Victoria Police Department and John Padierna of Townsquare Media of Victoria, for helping make the evening memorable. To everyone who attended, volunteered, donated auction items or helped spread the word, thank you for being part of this special night.
The success of Mariachis & Margaritas reflects the generosity and community spirit that make Victoria such a wonderful place to live. We are grateful for your continued support of the arts and look forward to sharing more music and meaningful experiences with our community.
