July 2 is my actual birthday, and this year I turn 49. For as long as I can remember, my birthday has been tied to the Fourth of July weekend. My dad’s birthday is July 6, so our family has always shared this time of year as a celebration. It has never just been about fireworks or the holiday. For me, this weekend has always felt like family, connection, gratitude, and coming together.

To celebrate the launch, TGC Athletics and SandersFit Rehab & Therapy will host a special Open House and Lucchese Bootmaker Pop-Up at the TGC Fitness Center. The event will transform the fitness center into an elevated networking experience that blends wellness, Western heritage, Texas craftsmanship and community connection.
