If you do not have a business Facebook page, set one up and take advantage of another way to promote your business in our wonderful community.
If you have an event or Tournament, contact the Chamber so this can be added to our calendar of events.
I drove by King Fisher Park and noticed the new volleyball area being added. The Port O’Connor Ladies Service Club has finished the process of getting this added to the park for the enjoyment of our young people and everyone else. Nearly every time I drive by the park there are people playing basketball, I know the volleyball area will be well used. THANKS LADIES!!!!
