"On the eve of President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration, Texans donned their finest formal wear and felt hats, then two-stepped their way through the Black Tie and Boots Ball. … It was clearly a night for those with Texas ties to let their hair down and cut loose." -San Antonio Express-News, Jan. 20, 2009
Shown: Dr. Austin Cecil & Ellisteen Walkes attending the Black Tie and Boots Ball in Washington, 2009.
The ball at Sugar Creek Country Club featured light snacks, a cash bar, live jazz music, dancing, a commemorative program for everyone to keep, silent and live auction items, and some very fancy Democrats.
