👏 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Melanie J Financial

We are incredibly grateful to Melanie J Financial for stepping up in a BIG way for the 54th Annual Hamilton Dove Fest as both our Main Stage Sponsor AND Bull Riding Sponsor! 🤠🎶

Located right here in downtown Hamilton, Melanie J Financial is a local wealth management and financial planning practice founded by Melanie Housden. Their team works with individuals, families and business owners to help them plan for the future and navigate the financial decisions that come along the way.

But what we love most is that Melanie J Financial doesn't just do business in Hamilton — they invest in Hamilton. From supporting our schools and local organizations to helping make community events like Dove Fest possible, they continue to show up for the place we all call home.

Thank you, Melanie and the entire Melanie J Financial team, for supporting Dove Fest and Hamilton! We couldn't do it without partners like you. ❤️

🤠 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: United Ag & Turf

We are proud to recognize United Ag & Turf as the RODEO TITLE SPONSOR of the 54th Annual Hamilton Dove Fest Rodeo!

United Ag & Turf is more than our local John Deere dealer. Their Hamilton team serves the farmers, ranchers, landowners and families who keep our part of Texas running with the equipment, parts and service they depend on every day.

Their commitment to rural communities goes well beyond the dealership. United Ag & Turf proudly supports organizations like 4-H, FFA, volunteer fire departments, nonprofits and county fairs throughout the communities they serve.

Our rodeo is a celebration of the western heritage, agriculture and community traditions that are such a big part of Hamilton County and it takes sponsors who believe in those traditions to make it happen.

A huge THANK YOU to United Ag & Turf for investing in Hamilton and helping us bring TWO nights of rodeo action to Dove Fest! 🐂🤠

EVENT SHOWCASE:

We've heard the feedback and listened to the community and we agree that there are some traditions worth bringing back. 🤎🎶

This year, we're closing out Dove Fest weekend with a nod to Dove Fest of years past and an opportunity to do something simple: come together as a community.

Join us for the Hamilton County Gospel Sing on Sunday, September 6 at 5 PM on the Hamilton County Courthouse Lawn.

Come sing along, worship, listen, visit with your neighbors, or just pull up a lawn chair and enjoy an evening of music and fellowship in the heart of Hamilton.

We're proud to host this special Sunday evening in partnership with the Hamilton Ministerial Alliance, and we'd love to have musicians and singers from churches and communities throughout Hamilton County participate!

🎶 Hamilton County Gospel Sing
📅 Sunday, September 6
⏰ 5 PM
📍 Hamilton County Courthouse Lawn

Interested in participating or have questions?
Contact Kristina Burks at 254.784.0828

Let's bring a little bit of old Dove Fest back to the courthouse lawn. 🤎
