LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER

Growing up in Fulshear and attending school in both Fulshear and Katy, I could never have imagined the tremendous growth that our little town would experience as well as the diversity that would accompany that growth. After a few years away at Texas A&M University, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to return home to work and raise my family here in this wonderful community. Years later, new families continue to flock to the Fulshear-Katy area in record numbers making our area one of the fastest-growing areas in the State of Texas, and that growth has continued to create tremendous opportunities for both existing and new businesses alike. What is even more impressive is that both Fulshear and Katy have managed to maintain the “small-town” charm that I remember from many years ago! The 5th edition of the Fulshear-Katy Area Community Guide & Directory was released in June 2022, and we have exciting news to share - our Directory is now an award winner! This past year the publication won 2nd place at the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executive Media Awards, TCCE Excellence Awards. To say I am humbled and proud is an understatement. Thank you to everyone who has helped make this publication what it is today.

It is truly a privilege to have the opportunity to work with Don McCoy and Rachel Durham of the Fulshear-Katy Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Board of Directors, to help promote the many organizations and businesses that impact our community in such a positive way! Finally, this publication would not be possible without the contributions of all the amazing individuals on our Hotshot Media team who have helped to bring it to life over the past four years. They truly are my “dream team.” I also want to extend a very special “thank you” to all our advertisers who have continued to support the chamber and Hotshot Media & Events through some very challenging times! I look forward to seeing you all around the community as we work together to support our local businesses and organizations. On behalf of our dedicated team at Hotshot Media & Events we hope you enjoy this new edition! Best wishes,

29818 FM 1093, Ste. 108 Fulshear, Texas 77441 832.600.3221 fulshearkaty.com
