A Country Christmas
On December 3, 2023, “A Country Christmas at Cowboys Dance Hall” was held in San Antonio, Texas. This annual Christmas event was hosted by Door in The Wall (a 501c3 nonprofit organization).
The Texas Disabled Veterans Association (TDVA) provided 340 Christmas gifts for children, adolescents, and adults of all ages with disabilities. Each gift was presented by Santa and Mrs. Claus who took pictures with every guest! The Gypsies Motorcycle Club served as Santa’s Helpers and assisted every booth.
Paul Sanchez and the Wrangler Country Band played Holiday favorites and Country music. The event was catered by Alfredo Contreras, Chef Owner of Munchies. Half Price Books provided free books. Raffle tickets, cakes, cookies, and sausage on a stick were sold to raise funds. A gift fishing pond was set up for kids to reel in paper fish for gift bags. Land fishing was sponsored by Oscar Castillo, founder of Fin Addict Anglers Foundation. Free popcorn was offered to all guests. This year’s sponsors were HEB, TDVA, and Alfredo Contreras, Chef Owner of Munchies.
