Rodeo, Music, & Modern Rosies: Summer Fest 2025
On August 1, 2025, Summer Fest returned—and thanks to a small but mighty crew, it was ready to shine. In the days leading up to the rodeo, Bryn, Miranda, Axley, Beth, and Huxley transformed the grounds with flowers in mason jars, metal cacti, and torch lamps filled and ready for sunset.
We felt especially honored (and a little giddy) to see our very own pink Habitat for Aviation rodeo ad along the arena rail, standing proudly among the banners.
When the festivities kicked off, an amazing crew stepped in to keep the fun (and fundraising) rolling. Huxley, Axley, Zoë, Miranda and even Jack joined Scott and Beth at the custom betting boards—welcoming BETA friends, explaining that every playful $1 bet supported youth and apprentices in our programs, and making sure everyone felt part of the celebration.
Ruby Clark, already a force in the ring, cemented her status as a local rodeo celebrity, inspiring cheers, smiles, and more than a few bets in her favor. We were delighted to see so many friends, including Kyra Becker and Martine and Bina Rothblatt, whose encouragement means so much to our builders.
By the end of the rodeo, we had raised both some fun and meaningful support for Habitat for Aviation—and once again proved that when community gathers around a good cause in a sea of pink hats, we are building far more than planes.
As the arena dust settled, the evening shifted into music and story. Under shimmering lights, Christopher Boldt played alongside Charlotte Clark in that perfect end-of-summer glow. But don’t take our word for it, check out Zoë’s incredible Thank You Summer Fest Instagram Reel.
