Scene Around Town: House of Creed and Perot Museum

As Society Editor for the Katy Trail Weekly I oversee the publication's Scene Around Town feature, which shines a spotlight on nonprofit and community events each week. In this week’s December 20 issue, I’m featuring scenes from The House of Creed’s holiday soiree. Hamilton A Sneed and Kimberly Schlegel Whitman hosted friends at The House of Creed Boutique at NorthPark Center celebrating the 2024 NorthPark Ambassadors and their charity partners. Also highlighted are scenes from The Perot Museum of Nature and Science who recently hosted its annual Night at the Museum gala, raising $2 million to support the Museum’s educational programs and expand STEM learning opportunities across North Texas. Co-chaired by Dr. Pamela J. Okada and Mark Okada, the event welcomed nearly 1000 guests for a memorable evening celebrating another remarkable year of impact.

Have an event you’d like to submit for editorial consideration? Here’s what you need to email me:

  • Send 4-8 images for consideration

  • No repeats (meaning the same person can’t be in multiple shots)

  • You must ID the people in each photo (left to right)

  • Tell me the name of the event, the location of where it was held, and provide a brief description of the event

  • Please send one event submission per email with the name of the event in the Subject line
