Back Together Again

AFTER BEING APART FOR A YEAR, SHRINERS REJOICE

The energy was palpable. Everyone at Imperial Session in Houston, Texas, could feel it. Shriners are meant to gather together, after all. There was joyful dancing before the parade. A block party

where spirits weren’t dampened even as a light rain fell. Singing in the Shriners Zone. Cheering at the Cornhole Tournament. Nobles and their families, from the United States and several international temples, delighted in the fun and fellowship that comes with the fraternity’s biggest event of the year.
