Remembering one of the Founders of the Port O’Connor Chamber of Commerce

The Chamber of Commerce of Port O’Connor was founded April 7, 1964. Mr. Allan Berger was a Director from 1964-1972. Following his years as a Director, he remained active in the Chamber.
This man was there for everyone in Port O’Connor. He and his brother-in-law “Boots” owned the Port O’Connor Food Store from 1950-1982. If anyone was in need, they were there to help. These guys were the most honest and respected people you could find. Allan Berger was involved in helping the community in so many ways. Sadly, he passed on September 2, 2019, but will be remembered always in the history of Port O’Connor.

The Chamber has an upcoming event on October 26, 2019.Mary Francis Bauer joined the Chamber several years ago and offered to head up a TRUNK or TREAT event, that has become a real hit for the community. This year it will be held on October 26, 2019, following the Elementary School Halloween Carnival. The time will be 7:00-8:30 p.m. The vehicles will line up facing the road on Park Street. You can participate by decorating your vehicle and bringing plenty of treats. If possible, try to include some lighting in the decorating, as at this time it will be dark. It’s fun for all!!! The best decorated will receive $100.00.
