![]() Quiroga said the idea for the date night started with the gleeful reaction he got from his daughter when he took her out on a date night last year. Quiroga said one grandfather came from Corpus Christi to be with his granddaughter. Many of the attendees were from the Pipe Creek-Lakehills-Bandera area, but Boerne, San Antonio and other nearby towns also were represented. ![]() Longtime San Antonio news anchor Randy Beamer attended with one of his daughters and spoke at the dinner, thanking Quiroga for creating the community-centered event. The event, which cost $25 a person, included a catered dinner, booths where fathers could get their pictures taken with their daughter, rides for the youngsters, prize giveaways, a performance by San Antonio comedian Rose Daniel and live music by Kadence Beckett, a Pipe Creek youngster, and the Bret Mullins band. “It’s a perfect place for a daddy-daughter dance to come and have a safe, good time,” said Hadley’s father Chad Hanchey, whose business printed up t-shirts to be given away as prizes at the gala. Hadley Hanchey, 4, said she had a lot of fun playing on the merrygo-round and other rides in the playground set up near the outdoor bandstand at the dance hall, an historic structure right in the middle of Pipe Creek.Īsked how long she had been waiting for the dance to arrive, she said, “Twenty-hundred days.” “I’d definitely come back for it every year as long as we’re here.” “It’s been a nice time to get out and spend quality time with your family and build memories,” said Ryan Simpson, who was there with two of his daughters, Rylee, 8, and Reyna, 3. Everyone interviewed said he or she was glad to be involved. It’s some thing the community wanted.”Ībout 200 people were in attendance at the first-ever father-daughter dinner and dance Quiroga and his family put together at the Pipe Creek General Store and Dance Hall. ![]() “It seems like all the planets lined up just right,” said Quiroga, who has lived in Pipe Creek about a year-and-a-half.
