Become One of Texas’ Most Wanted at the 2016 Lone Star Stomp

---

Channel your inner 1930s gangster at the 27th annual Lone Star Stomp! Set for Saturday, April 16th at the George Ranch Historical Park, this year’s Stomp will be a snazzy Bonnie-and-Clyde affair, complete with live music by Shark Bait, casino tables, whiskey and vodka-tasting stations, signature cocktails and much more.

The 2016 theme, Texas’ Most Wanted, comes from an obscure history fact that the infamous Bonnie and Clyde ate a meal at the Eagle Café in Rosenberg shortly before they were killed. The steering committee, chaired by Billie Van Slyke and co-chaired by Dottie Allen, Diane Elko, Lynne Humphries and Robin Rosen, is especially excited to combine the underground party vibe of the 1930s with the classic Texas feel of the Stomp.

“We’re planning the most exciting event to date,” Van Slyke said. “And I hope we’ll have a huge crowd to join in the fun! It’s very important to continue to educate our children about our rich history here in Fort Bend County, and also continue to spread the word to everyone about the significant role Fort Bend County played in Texas history.”

This year, the Fort Bend County Museum Association is pleased to announce NRG W.A. Parish Generating Station as the Stomp Presenting Sponsor and OCuSOFT, Inc. as the Speakeasy Sponsor. Tickets, sponsorships and underwriting opportunities are available now. All proceeds benefit the Fort Bend Museum, which helps bring Texas and Fort Bend County history alive for thousands of schoolchildren and visitors every year.
