Welcome to Volume 5 of The Scout Guide Houston! This guide is a celebration of the people behind exceptional local businesses in our community. We scout them out, hear their stories, photograph them, and present them to you with an invitation to learn more about them. Every entrepreneur, maker, and artist in this book gives authentic character to Houston by providing exemplary services, products, and creations that reflect who we are collectively. We hope this book will inspire discovery. Browse it, display it, share it with wit h family and friends, but most importantly, use it. Shop, dine, throw a party, buy a house, renovate, decorate, take in a museum. Whether you’re a visitor, newcomer, or native Houstonian, we are sure that you’ll find something new within these pages that will help you enhance your life and enjoy our city to the fullest. With heartfelt gratitude, we thank all of the businesses that appear here for being a part of the collective that supports this guide. It is an honor to help tell their stories, in print and online, and enable you to engage with them on a deeper level. Live beautifully, live well, and live like an insider – wherever w herever you are.

Cheers,

Sunday Polo is a terrific way to entertain! Guests are treated to a world-class polo match in a unique outdoor setting. Polo is ideal for corporate entertainment, social gatherings, and charity fund-raisers. Reserve a private tented area for large groups, buy individual tickets, box seats for 2-20 guests or become an annual boxholder which includes seating for 6 to all 21 spring and fall matches! Learn to Play! Many of our Sunday Polo spectators attend a match and leave with a desire for more. Houston Polo Club offers professionally instructed 2-hour polo clinics. Attending a polo clinic is an excellent way to prepare for the next step to our 8-week spring and fall polo school program. 2020 SPRING SCHEDULE March 29 April 5, 12, 19, 26 May 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 June 7 2020 FALL SCHEDULE September 13, 20, 27 October 4, 11, 18, 25 November 1, 8, 15
