Cotton Holdings brought unmatched energy, elegance and thousands of red roses to the 2025 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) cook-off scene. As the returning Title Sponsor of the World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest (WCBBQC), Cotton cooked up unforgettable experiences by hosting guests at the rose-filled Cotton ‘Q Club during the contest and participating in other signature rodeo events.

At the legendary Cotton ‘Q Club during the WCBBQC, guests were treated to an elevated rodeo cook-off experience. This year, the Club featured over 20,000 red roses — including many hanging from the ceiling — across a luxurious, “country-chic” space. Larger-than-life decor like sparkling crystal chandeliers, gold-framed trophy mounts and a 50-foot bar lined in green velvet also filled the venue.

Inside the Club, high-energy live performances across three nights had guests dancing to the sounds of Tucker Wetmore, Midland, MacKenzie Porter, The Castellows, Jon Wolfe and Pete’s Dueling Pianos. Cotton’s partnerships with Whistlepig Whiskey, Casa Del Sol and Dripping Springs Distilling powered curated cocktails for guests to sip in style while they enjoyed the music and socializing.

Cotton is proud to employ some of the most professional and experienced people in the industry, and today we’d like to recognize one of them. Meet this month's Cotton's Finest: Gracie Cardenas, Vice President of Human Resources.
