Saturday May 24th 2008, was the day of the benefit for Tejano star Emilio Navaira. The event was held at Joe Flanagan's The Cotton Gin in Maxwell, Texas. Why would a Tejano Superstar like Emilio be in need of a benefit, you ask? I'm pretty sure everyone in Texas has heard of the singer's early morning mishap in Houston. Emilio was hurt badly in the crash and required extensive surgery. Emilio's insurance would not cover a private room ( which costs $500.00 a day ) and in an effort to provide him the much needed privacy, his family and friends have put forth the effort to raise the money needed to assure that pictures and news of his current condition not be leaked to the media. That being said, a debt of gratitude should be shown to the man that made this all possible, the guy that owns this awesome place ...Joe Flanagan! If you are in need of a venue for your next party, benefit, concert...whatever...please check out this cool place.
