At Matrix Construction Services, we’ve always believed in going the extra mile, whether on the job site or in the community. That spirit was on full display at the 2023 Houston Apartment Association’s (HAA) 32nd annual Chili Fest, where we were thrilled to take home third place in the Single Booth category. The event was a perfect blend of competition, creativity, and community, and we’re excited to share our winning experience with you.
Celebrating Houston’s Legacy: The HAA Chili Fest
The HAA Chili Fest is a cherished event in Houston, where industry professionals and families come together for a day filled with chili, fun, and friendly competition. This year’s theme, “H-Town Chili,” inspired participants to channel the heart and soul of Houston into their booths. With everything from a chili cook-off to kid-friendly activities like pumpkin patches and face painting, the event was a vibrant celebration of what makes our city great.
Matrix Construction’s Winning Booth: A Tribute to the Houston Oilers
When it came time to choose our booth theme, we knew we had to represent something iconic about Houston. That’s why we went all-in on a “Luv Ya Blue” theme, paying tribute to the beloved Houston Oilers. Our booth was decked out in the Oilers’ classic blue, with nods to the team’s legendary history, making it a nostalgic trip down memory lane for many attendees.
We didn’t just stop at visuals—our team brought the energy and passion that Oilers fans were known for. The booth was buzzing with excitement, drawing visitors in with its vibrant displays and engaging activities. We wanted to capture the spirit of the Oilers, a team that always gave its all, just like we do at Matrix Construction Services.
Third Place Victory: A Testament to Team Spirit
Securing third place in the Single Booth category was a proud moment for us. The competition was fierce, with many creative and impressive booths vying for the top spots. But it was our commitment to the theme and the team’s hard work that set us apart. Just like the Oilers were known for their tenacity on the field, we brought that same determination to our booth, ensuring that every detail was spot-on.
From the design to the interactive elements, every aspect of our booth was crafted to engage and entertain. The judges and attendees appreciated our dedication to the theme, and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive. Winning third place wasn’t just about the award; it was about the recognition of our team’s creativity, collaboration, and passion.
Community and Camaraderie: The Heart of the Chili Fest
For us at Matrix Construction Services, the HAA Chili Fest was more than just a competition—it was a chance to connect with the community. Events like these allow us to step out of our day-to-day roles and engage with the people and organizations that make Houston such a vibrant place to live and work.
Our “Luv Ya Blue” booth wasn’t just a tribute to the Houston Oilers; it was a celebration of the city’s spirit. We had the opportunity to share laughs, memories, and, of course, some fantastic chili with fellow Houstonians. It’s these moments of connection that remind us why we’re so passionate about what we do, both in our professional lives and within the community.
Looking Forward
Our third-place win at the HAA Chili Fest is more than just an accolade—it’s a reflection of our company’s values and spirit. We’re honored to have been recognized and are already looking forward to next year’s event, where we’ll bring even more creativity and energy. Until then, Luv Ya Blue!
