North Texas Home Builders Association Host Christmas Party at Backdoor Theatre By Lee Grace, Classified Writer Approximately 76 people attended the North Texas Home Builders Association Christmas Party held Thursday, Dec. 15 at Backdoor Theater. Participants enjoyed a delicious dinner and a play, The Winter Wonderettes, by the Backdoor Players that included audience participation. Those pulled on stage to participate included John Ahearn, Cassie Ahearn and Reynaldo Loera with Overhead Doors of Wichita Falls. Each tier of guest was asked to participate as a group and help one of the members on stage by making specific sounds. Chuck Vergauwen with Woodco Building Products was also pulled on stage to fill in for the missing Santa Clause. He was known by the audience as “Santa Baby” as the Wonderettes sang to him. Along with the play, Chairman of the Membership, Meetings & Education Committee conducted a contest for the best dressed couple. The winners were Charles and Shirley Barr with Charles Barr Homes. They won a gift basket made by Shelia Hammonds with wine, wine glasses, cheese, crackers and sausage. The winner of the best dressed woman contest was Griselda Anzaldua with Ferguson Enterprises. She won a $25 gift certificate to Red Nails. The best dressed man contest winner was Steven Hinson with Dennis Company. He won a $25 gift certificate for a MVP Haircut, head and face message and shampoo from Sports Clips. President of the association Stan Mountain drew random ticket winners and 11 door prizes were given away. Everyone agreed the evening, full of laughter and fellowship, was a wonderful way to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season.
