This year the Firethorne Stampede auction team purchased six animals at the Katy I.S.D. Livestock Show, including the Reserve Champion Goat and fifth place goat, and sixth and eighth place rabbits, among others, to support the Katy I.S.D. Future Farmers of America (FFA.) 

The Firethorne Stampede was pleased to be able to purchase the eighth place winning rabbit raised by a Firethorne Guide employee, Shelby Jasso.  Shelby, a junior at James Taylor High School, has worked at Firethorne after school and summers for two years,” said according to Wayne Meyer, general manager of the 1,400-acre Firethorne master-designed community in Katy/Fulshear.

LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch is hosting an Easter Bunny Hop on April 11th from 5-8pm.

Does that means it’s time pull out the leather jackets, put on the poodle skirts and … break out the bunny ears? Yes! This seasonal take on the classic sock hop promises fun for the entire family with a special appearance by the Big Hopper himself.

Guests are invited to twist and shout under the stars to the tunes of DJ Doo Wop, bunny hop across Heritage Square and vie for top carrot in the hula-hoop, dance and costume contests. Students from Lesa’s DanceSations will be on hand to keep the party hoppin’ with dance instruction and performances. Don’t be surprised to see a classic car or two crusin’ Main Street. After all, every bunny’s going to be at this hop.

LaCenterra’s Bunny Hop will be held weather permitting. Costume contest themes can include the fabulous 1950s, Easter/seasonal or a combination of the two. All center events are free and open to the public.
