Originally presented as The Golden Years Award, this award is presented to the oldest person attending the Brenham Community Festival’s “Celebrate Our Seniors” program. 

 

In 2007 it was renamed in honor of Mrs. Bettie E. Garrett, the recipient of the first three awards (2004-2006).

 

Mrs. Garrett and the other awardees display limitless spirit, energy, and tenacity.  These qualities embody the adage that “age is just a number, and does not have to be a limiting factor.”
