A premium photo experience at Hangar 9 celebrating leadership, community impact, and the installation of the 2026 Chairman of the Board

The South Texas Business Partnership’s 44th Annual Board Installation Gala, held at the historic Hangar 9, was an evening dedicated to leadership, collaboration, and the continued growth of South Texas. This prestigious event brought together government officials, business leaders, and community stakeholders who gathered to celebrate the installation of the 2026 Chairman of the Board, Larry Gomez, President & CEO of TelResource Inc.


Events of this caliber require experiences that match the professionalism and significance of the occasion. To support the celebration, Crafty Photo Booth provided a Printed Photo Booth experience, giving attendees the opportunity to capture elegant portraits and take home a keepsake from the evening.


Elevating a Gala with a Printed Photo Booth Experience


Formal galas and board installation ceremonies are designed to recognize leadership and bring influential members of the community together. A Printed Photo Booth complements these events perfectly by providing a refined yet interactive experience for guests.


At the South Texas Board Installation Gala, attendees stepped in front of our professionally lit photo booth setup to capture polished portraits throughout the evening. Each image was instantly printed, allowing guests to leave with a physical keepsake that commemorated their participation in this important event.


For many attendees, these printed photos become more than just pictures—they become souvenirs of a milestone evening celebrating leadership and community progress.


A Night of Leadership and Recognition


The highlight of the evening was the official introduction of Larry Gomez as the 2026 Chairman of the Board. As President & CEO of TelResource Inc., Mr. Gomez brings extensive leadership and industry experience to the organization.



The gala served as an opportunity for regional leaders, elected officials, and members of the business community to come together in support of the partnership’s mission to advance economic growth across South Texas.


Events like the South Texas Board Installation Gala represent more than a formal gathering—they reinforce the connections between public leadership, private industry, and community development.

Capturing those connections through professional photo experiences helps preserve the significance of the evening.

Why Printed Photo Booths Work So Well at Galas


For upscale events such as board installations, corporate galas, and nonprofit fundraising dinners, a Printed Photo Booth delivers both entertainment and value.


1. Tangible Keepsakes for Guests

Unlike digital-only experiences, printed photos give guests something physical they can take home immediately. These prints often end up displayed in offices or homes, serving as a lasting reminder of the event.


2. Elevated Guest Experience

A professionally designed photo setup creates a moment for guests to pause, connect, and capture elegant portraits with colleagues, partners, and friends.



3. Event Branding Opportunities

Printed templates can incorporate event branding, sponsor logos, or organization messaging. This transforms every photo into a branded memento tied directly to the event.


4. Natural Networking Moments

Photo booths encourage interaction. Colleagues and community leaders often gather together to take photos, creating organic networking opportunities during the reception portion of the event.
