Katy/Fulshear – May 10, 2006. . . . .Firethorne
recently celebrated its Grand Opening with a tropical
theme party, transforming its Visitors Center into
an island oasis on the banks its 12-acre lake. Approximately
400 guests were greeted with fresh orchid leis from
Hawaii, thatched “tiki” stands laden
with a full array of fresh seafood and other tropical
fare, music by a Jimmy Buffett-style band and even
visits by a pair of tropical birds. Topping off the
festivities were a lively African dance performance
and an awe-inspiring grand finale fireworks display.
The festivities began at 6 p.m. under picture-perfect
blue skies. As the evening progressed, guests became
mesmerized by the sunset, a watercolor wash of
deep oranges, roses and rusts. It proved to be nature’s most ideal backdrop
for Firethorne, Katy/Fulshear’s newest master-designed community. The 1,400-acre
residential community is located on FM 1463 near I-10 in Katy/Fulshear.
In addition
to the tasty tropical menu and lively entertainment, guests enjoyed tours of
fully furnished model homes built by Coventry, David Powers, David Weekley,
Perry and Plantation Homes.
At every turn activity abounds at Firethorne, whose
landmark is an 18-foot tall Firethorne sculpture at its entrance. Named for
a resilient evergreen indigenous
to the prairie, Firethorne blends with the best nature has to offer: 150 acres
devoted to parks and recreational amenities highlighted by a 12-acre lake with
surrounding greenbelt, hike and bike trails, parks and play-grounds, discovery-rich
wildlife observation area, a natural bird habitat and more. Amenities will
include a multi-level swim center, sports fields,
tennis courts, a competitive swim center,
plus a neighborhood Community Center with a meeting room and fully equipped
fitness facility.
Firethorne is being designed to carefully weave
the vibrancy of West Houston with the small-town
charm of Fulshear/Katy. It is where a person can
connect
with nature in one’s very own backyard, plus enjoy the urban conveniences
of today, just a stone’s throw away.
