The Steeplechase Club was honored to present its 2022 debutantes at the annual ball on Oct. 29. Held at River Crest Country Club, this year’s theme centered around Texas and included a special focal point highlighting Dr. Chip Brown’s custom boot collection. Chip is both an active Steeplechase member and recurrent board member with a colorful collection of over 160 boots. Guests enjoyed two out-of-state bands, The Tuten Brothers with a Western flair and the lively Party Crashers located in the ballroom. Melanie Tatum Events did a magnificent job detailing Texas with rooms featuring oversized oil derricks, hanging cowboy hats, turquoise accents, a State Fair room serving Fletcher’s corny dogs and fried oreos, and an outdoor patio, Campbell’s Cantina, to honor Campbell Dean Boswell, club president. The Boswell legacy is steeped in Texas tradition with several ranches passed down through generations stemming from Colonel Slaughter, a well-known Texas ranching pioneer in the mid-1800s and initiator of the Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.
