Karen (with an extra pair of rabbit ears) 

Karen and her husband Randy have been married for 35 years and have a son, Daniel who recently got married (yes we did the entire thing!).  She started out creating wedding cakes and decorating for receptions then soon added catering.  After adding a florist, ‘Celebrations’ became a one stop shop for weddings. Her years on the Commerce Chamber of Commerce board were filled with the planning of events as a volunteer and she met some amazing friends along the way.  She was Director and Co-Director of the Bois d’Arc Bash for several years as well as the July 4th celebration.  She helped plan teacher’s luncheons, annual Chamber banquets and many other community events.  She is the creator of the Commerce Idol talent show that raises money for Rotary scholarships and started the NETEX Marching Band Invitational held annually at TAMU-C.  Karen, along with her friends, are able to create the most memorable of events with attention given to the smallest of details.
