In case you missed it, October 3rd and 4th was the 9th Annual Christopher Ragusin POC Grand Slam Memorial Fishing Tournament. This event was held at the Port O’ Connor Community Center pavilion. The tournament turned out to be a great time as usual, and even better loads, of fish were brought in for the extremely delicious fish fry put on by the Seadrift Crew (THANK YOU!!).

The tournament was a little smaller this year with only 16 boats, but it was still enough to have a good competition. We had some amazing items donated this year for the live and silent auction, boat trailers, bird hunts, hog hunts, tail gating chairs, BBQ pits, a custom sting ray table and much more.

We are always amazed at the donations we receive. Donnie from Port O’ Connor Rod and Gun donated four custom rods for the winners of the Grand Slam Stringer, which was greatly appreciated. Of course, we appreciate all our helpers. One helper was McCullen Stafford, a recipient of one of our Grand Slam scholarships.

If you were not at the live auction, you missed out on out big announcement, which was that next year (#10) will be our last POC Grand Slam. So if you missed out this year and are planning to fish it, you better be there the 1st weekend in October of 2015 for our 10th Annual Blow out celebration and to say good bye to the POC Grand Slam.

We have accomplished many things over the years, sometimes I have a hard time remembering everything. But it sure is a good feeling to stand up there on the stage Senior Day and award the seniors their scholarships, buy clothes for Christmas angels, help with monetary donations to defray medical and funeral expenses, and just be able to buy someone a heater for a cold winter day. All of this is possible by the many donations you have given us over the years. Nothing would be possible without you and the generosity that comes out when you donate to the POC Grand Slam. Thank You cannot begin to show our gratitude, we will be forever grateful!!
