Ranch Roundup named top charitable music event by TCMA
North Texas Rehab's Ranch Roundup was named the top Charitable Music Event of the Year by the TCMA on Thursday, June 12, at the Rhinestone Saloon in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
Regan Nabors, Director of Marketing and Development for North Texas Rehab, said everyone is really honored and proud to be recognized by their peers.
'It was a great night and we are excited to bring this hardware back to Wichita Falls,' Nabors added.
TCMA President Linda Wilson said these awards are 'incredibly unique and special' because they are only voted on by TCMA members and industry stakeholders.
'It's our goal to let these individuals and entities that work so hard alongside the artists to know that the industry is paying attention – and grateful,' Wilson said.
The Texas Ranch Roundup is the 'original' event designed to replicate the big cattle roundups of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Since its inception in 1981, the Texas Ranch Roundup has raised more than $4 million for the North Texas Rehabilitation Center in Wichita Falls, the West Texas Rehabilitation Center in Abilene, and the West Texas Boys Ranch in San Angelo.
The 44th Annual Ranch Roundup will be held on July 18 and 19 at Kay Yeager Coliseum and the MPEC, featuring Josh Weathers, a fellow Texan, as the performer. Tickets can be purchased at wfmpec.com or the MPEC Box Office, located at 1000 5th Street.

Beyoncé's Houston Cowboy Carter tour stop brings $50M boost
Beyoncé didn't just bring the Texan flair to NRG Stadium — she brought a multimillion-dollar boost to Houston. Stunning stat: Queen Bey's June 28–29 Cowboy Carter Tour stop spurred more than $50 million in local spending, according to an analysis by Houston First Corporation. Houston was the only Texas stop on the tour, drawing fans from across the state — and as far as Mexico and the U.K. — to enjoy her hometown performance. What they're saying: "Beyoncé's concert stop here is the latest example of how major entertainment events of this caliber can be huge economic drivers for our city," said Michael Heckman, president and CEO of Houston First. "This type of mega-event is something we love to see because it not only generates buzz and excitement across town, it truly delivers for our economy." By the numbers: Hotel occupancy surged across the city compared to the same weekend last year — and so did revenue per available room and average daily rates. Hotels near NRG Stadium hit 79% occupancy, up from 61% last year. Downtown hotels reached 72%, up from 53%, and Uptown hit 78%, up from 58%. Plus, OpenTable reported a 43% increase in Houston-area reservations over the three-day stretch compared to the same period last year.

Klay Thompson Seemingly Confirms Romance With Megan Thee Stallion
It looks like Megan Thee Stallion might be off the market. Amid reports that she's dating NBA player Klay Thompson, the athlete seemingly confirmed his romance with the 'HISS' hitmaker with a sneaky photo dump on Instagram. On Sunday, July 13, Klay shared a selection of pics with his followers, including a photo of him kissing someone who bears a veeeery striking resemblance to the rapper. Later in the carousel, he shared a pic of himself holding a perfectly manicured hand. While the woman's face isn't shown in either photo, fans were still in a frenzy as they filled his comments section with theories. 'Went to Texas and got a Texan 😂😭🔥,' one person wrote, referring to Klay's move from the Golden State Warriors to the Dallas Mavericks and Meg's hometown of Houston. Another chimed in, calling back to Meg's interaction with Keke Palmer at the 2021 Met Gala, '*in my keke voice* I KNOW IT AINT I KNOW AINT THE STALLIONNNNNNN.' Internet sleuths also pointed out that Megan's hair and pink stiletto-shaped nails in a recent post are nearly identical to the styles worn by the girlie in Klay's pic. It's quite a compelling case: editoriallinks id='05823550-92a3-4f1d-b79d-3763b2154575' align='center'][/editoriallinks] Fans started speculating that these two were an item when the Grammy winner promoted her Hot Girl Summer swimwear line with an Instagram photo dump on July 9. ICYMI, there was a guy who looks a lot like the Dallas Mavericks athlete lounging in the back of Meg's photos. Before Klay, Meg was romantically linked to another NBA star, Torrey Craig, while Klay most recently dated Coco Jones (who's now engaged to NBA player Donovan Mitchell). Neither Klay nor Meg has publicly said anything about their alleged romance, but we're truly seated for what happens next.

Jenna Bush Hager mourns Texas flooding victims: 'Our hearts are heavy'
"A homesick Texan living in New York," Jenna Bush Hager is mourning the tragedy that has unfolded in Central Texas as the death toll climbs following the unprecedented flooding. "We have to start just saying our hearts are heavy this morning thinking of my home state of Texas. Obviously there (was) devastating flooding," Bush Hager somberly said on "Today with Jenna and Friends" on July 7. Heavy rainfall overwhelmed the Guadalupe River last week, sending floodwaters roaring through homes and area summer camps. The death toll rose to at least 110, including at least 27 children and counselors from the beloved Camp Mystic in Kerr County, where flooding hit the hardest beginning July 4. Bush Hager explained her connection to the nearly 100-year-old nondenominational Christian camp for girls. She told guest co-host Dwayne Wade that her mom, former first lady Laura Bush, was a counselor at Camp Mystic and that many of her friends attended the camp. "It is a place that raised so many girls to become women, and it was almost like a spiritual, beautiful place," she added. Harrowing stories of survival: Clinging to trees, huddling on rooftops amid Texas floods She reflected, "I think as parents, we think about the horror of sending our kids to a place that's supposed to be — and is — healing and fun and joyful and all the things that kids deserve to have, and then something like this (happened)." Bush Hager, 43, revealed she had just dropped off her kids "at another camp in Texas" and described "putting them on the bus and saying goodbye to them" as an emotional experience. She shares daughters Mila, 12, and Poppy, 9, as well as her son, Hal, 5, with husband Henry Chase Hager. "I know so many parents whose kids are at camp or going to camp feel that way. We send our kids into the world with the faith that they can have happy lives, joyful lives, and as adults we know pain," the TV host said. "We hope that our kids never face it." "But Texas is a resilient, incredible state," she continued. "And it always is in my heart." Wade, who has five children, three of whom are adults, also empathized with Bush Hager. "Just as parents, there are certain places that we send our kids, (and) we feel those are places of safety for them ... because we know the growth and evolution that happens at these places," the former NBA star said. "But tragedy also occurs, and it's so unfortunate." Jenna, sister Barbara chat about their grandparents, raising kids Bush Hager also praised people's generosity during the time of grief. "The stories that I heard over the last couple of days were beautiful and heartbreaking," she explained. "Texas has a type of resilience where they're generous people, where people want to reach out and help." Bush Hager directed viewers to the American Red Cross to find ways to help.
