During the event, guests perused patio furniture at Sunnyland, finding inspiration and shopping for their outdoor needs. Art from various local artists was also available for purchase through the Visual Arts Guild of Frisco<\/a>. While browsing, shopping and, of course, networking, guests enjoyed drinks from Saint Arnold Brewing Company<\/a>, including several ice-cold beers and the new summer pilsner \u2014 because it is spring in Texas, and it already feels a lot like summer.<\/p>\n Food was provided by Chef to the Shelters<\/a>, a North Texas-based nonprofit that serves meals to adults and adolescents in sober living homes, while also offering catering jobs to adults in recovery to develop culinary and hospitality skills. And no meal is complete without dessert: Texas-sized cookies from Sweet Tooth Society<\/a> featured flavors like brown butter chocolate chip, red velvet and butter cake.<\/p>\n As guests enjoyed the food, drinks and art, the latest issue of Local Profile offered a deeper look at the stories and spaces shaping the heartbeat of North Texas. From an unexpected sisterhood forged through adversity and creativity to the rise of women\u2019s professional volleyball, the issue highlights the region\u2019s energy, passion and flavor. Hidden culinary gems, thriving local leaders and vibrant cultural experiences reveal a North Texas that is constantly redefining itself.<\/p>\n We thank our esteemed guests for attending the cover party, and to our hosts, as well as the food and beverage partners, for making the event so enjoyable.<\/p>\n![\"screen-shot-2026-03-30-at-71946-pm\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/screen-shot-2026-03-30-at-71946-pm.png;w=960.png\"\/)
