Before rocking out to Miranda Lambert’s performance at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Monday night, these Buzz residents were spotted hanging out at the Champion Wine Garden.

A group of co-workers from Chinquapin Preparatory School - Marilu Garza, Nick Alden, Rebecca Loredo, Aby Cisneros and John Baker - sat and caught up under the twinkly lights of the Wine Garden prior to Miranda’s stellar performance. The group enjoyed the tickets courtesy of rodeo volunteer John McAleer, who also serves as a Chinquapin Board member.

Also spotted were Stephanie Swingle and co-worker Marianne Bianchi mingling in the Wine Garden; they’re both clothing representatives for J. Hilburn. Stephanie celebrated her birthday this past Saturday with a group of friends and family at the Wine Garden.
