The annual Memorial Day Kids Fishing Tournament, sponsored by the Port O’Connor Chamber of Commerce, had a great turn out, despite the winds! Approximately 55 kids showed up and gave it their very best! Many were fishing from the pier, and some along the banks of King Fisher beach. Winners for age group 3-5 were Ellie Roben, Most fish, Cora Pohler, Smallest fish, and Everett Kubenka, Biggest fish. Winners for age group 6-8 were Carrigan Pohler Most fish, Carrigan Smallest fish and Edward Lee Kubenka Biggest fish. Winners for age group 9-12 were Crosby Pohler Most fish, Marshall Plummer Smallest fish, and Charles Daily Biggest fish.

A HUGE thanks to Jim and Mary Frances Bauer from 10 th Street Lodge for hosting this tournament and another HUGE thank you to Salty Seafood Shack in Bay City for donating the shrimp for our kids to fish with! To see more pictures, go to our Port O’Connor Chamber of Commerce Facebook page!

Along with the Kids Fishing Tournament on the same day was the annual Kite Flying Contest. Again, winds were strong, but couldn’t ask for better conditions for kite flying!! There were all shapes, sizes and colors flying through the skies! Thank you for James and Shirley Harper for again hosting this contest. James and Shirley have been putting this on for many, many years, and we are very thankful for them. Again, for more pics of our kites flying over King Fisher Beach, check out the Port O’Connor Chamber of Commerce Facebook page!
