Boots & Bowties Was a Huge Success!

Scotty's House held it's annual Valentine's Dinner and Dance on Saturday, February 13th at the Brazos County Expo Center. The theme of this year's event was "Boots & Bowties,"and there was plenty of boot scootin' that evening thanks to Zona Jones and his band. J. Cody's served up an incredible steak dinner that people are STILL talking about! The Little Aggie Wranglers also provided us with some fantastic entertainment full of flips, dips and spins! Needless to say, it was a great evening and a huge success. Scotty's House would like to thank all the wonderful Board Members and volunteers that helped make this year's event such an amazing experience for everyone.

Thanks y'all!
