Annual Barbecue Fund Raiser July 5
July is right around the corner. That means it is once again time for our annual fundraiser. We have been working hard putting this event together. As some of you know, there are some changes to it this year. The biggest change is the location. We will be having our fundraiser at the POC Community Center Pavilion instead of the fire station. This is due mostly to the larger turnout of supporters we have begun to have (thank y’all for that!!). This way there will be more room to park and more seating (in a cooler area). This fundraiser will take place July 5th from 11-2. We plan to have live music, a silent auction, and the new POCVFD T-Shirts will be for sale. There will be items in the auction such as fishing trips with some of our great local guides, locally done artwork, fishing gear, gift baskets from local stores, gift cards, and much more!
There are a few other activities we are trying to get finalized also. If you are interested in donating an item for our fundraiser, we will be more than happy to assist with that. You can message us on Facebook at POCVFD. Along with our BBQ fundraiser, there will also be a 4 mile run and a 2 mile walk taking place that morning at The Sanctuary sponsored by Firemans 4 Beer. Proceeds from that also go to the POC fire department. If you are interested in signing up for that event you can find the link through active.com, the fire department’s Facebook page, or you can register at the fire station Friday, July 4th.
We would also like to announce that we will be having our first Wild Game Supper and Raffle taking place in September. This event is sponsored by Port O’ Connor Rod &Gun. This is a great opportunity for all you hunters and gun enthusiasts to support the POCVFD. There are over 20 guns to be raffled away that night. Tickets are available from members of the POCVFD and at Port O Connor Rod & Gun. Tickets are limited so get yours before they’re gone!
We are excited about both of our upcoming fundraisers and hope to see everyone out there. Thank you to all who have shown their support to this department.
