The bay front was full of fun festivities!
Another Shrimpfest has come and gone! Plans went off without a hitch even though the weather threatened to put a damper on the event. Two days packed with beauty pageants, tournaments, pony rides, contests and best of all – music and great food! This year there were over fifty vendors with arts, crafts and a variety of delicious dishes. Vendors brought everything from shrimp po-boys to snow cones!
For me, Shrimpfest starts off my summer. I look forward to watching the bay front come alive with all of the fun festivities which Chamber members plan for months. A captivating addition to this year’s line up was the Brazos Bottom Cowographers. They drew quite a crowd, bringing the spirit of the Old West to the coast. The music line up was fantastic and drew in quite a crowd. Till next year, look for more updates and photos online at www.seadriftchamber.com
