CELEBRATION RESTAURANT 1971 - 2007

As the proprietor of Celebration Restaurant, Catering and Market, I have the privilege of working with a great team of professionals who make it possible for me to devote time to two of my other passions - Texas Water Trails, for which I am guide, outdoor educator and cook among other things, and the Friends of the Brazos River, a non-profit which I helped establish and currently serve as president. Through these two organizations, I invest my time and energy in two of our most precious resources: our youth and our natural resources.

For several years I have taken groups of young folks from all socio-economic backgrounds canoeing, camping, hiking, and exploring the outdoors, teaching young people and adults how to enjoy the earth's natural beauty as well as how to protect and preserve it. Introducing kids to a world that many of them have never experienced is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

The mission of Friends of the Brazos River is to restore and ensure a clean, healthy Brazos River, the most beautiful piece of flowing water within easy driving distance of Dallas-Fort Worth, for present and future generations. Visit www.friendsofthebrazos.org to learn more.

In addition to these two enterprises, Celebration is also committed to using fresh produce from local farmers as much as possible during our growing season. We hope you enjoy eating the freshest, finest food we can provide.

Each time you visit Celebration, your patronage helps continue the tradition our restaurant family has spent many years establishing. We sincerely thank you for giving us the opportunity to make a difference.
