💍🤠 A Bastrop Homecoming First! 🤠💍

One of our scholarship recipients and dedicated volunteers chose a place that's close to all of our hearts for one of the biggest days of his life.

Please join us in congratulating Dustin Hicks & Kayla Hodges on their marriage! ❤️

We're honored that they chose Bastrop Homecoming & Rodeo as the setting for their wedding—our very first Homecoming wedding! What a special way to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter together.

And if that wasn't enough, after saying "I do," Dustin and Kayla came straight to the beer booth to volunteer! ❤️🤠 Their dedication and love for this community are truly inspiring, and we couldn't be more grateful to have them as part of the Bastrop Homecoming family.

Congratulations, Dustin and Kayla! We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness, and wonderful memories together. Thank you for letting Bastrop Homecoming & Rodeo be part of your special day—and for spending part of your wedding day giving back to our community.
