When you think of a party, think of South Texas, why don’t you? The memorable party this year was Laredo’s festive Washington’s birthday celebration and debutante ball. Cocktails were poured, champagne was popped and hors d’oeuvres were passed as thousands of Laredo’s most esteemed denizens arrived en masse. They were there to celebrate the decades-old tradition in the South Texas region for The Society of Martha Washington Colonial Pageant & Ball that continues to thrive and grow more popular every year.
