It was another Spectacular Fireworks Display on July 2nd, as the community and visitors came together, many displaying their red, white and blue pride,  to celebrate our  Freedom and Independence. Port O’Connor is one of the few places where fireworks are still used by individuals for the celebrations. The Chambers display was probably the Biggest & Best, lasting longer than ever before. Thanks goes out to each and everyone for volunteering, donations, buying raffle tickets and all aspects that made the event possible. If you still would like to help us meet the goal to pay for the event, you can go to portoconnorchamber.com or mail a check to P.O. Box 701,Port O’Connor, Tx 77982.
