Port O’Connor Chamber of Commerce
Where has 2021 gone? It seems like yesterday we were ringing in the New Year. The Chamber has had a very successful year and we have a few more events planned before we welcome in 2022.
November 27th we will hold our First Annual Poker Tournament from 10:00 to 3:00. Registration and your first card will be available at Josie’s Cantina starting at 10. Each hand will be $25.00 and you will draw additional cards at stops in Port O’ Connor. You can participate with any means of transportation, golf cart, bicycle, car, etc.
December 4th we will welcome numerous boats from Freeport for the Annual Toy Run. These boats will bring hundreds of Christmas toys for the kids in our community. The Service Club will unload, organize, and deliver the toys. Later that evening those boats along with others will participate in our lighted boat parade. The boats will start at the little jetties and will head down the ICW past Scurlock Street. The boat parade is open to all boats, and it is always a fun event. If you are interested in participating check out our webpage under events for registration information.
December 4th the Chamber is coordinating with 5D Steakhouse and bringing Mr. and Mrs. Santa to Market Days. The kids will love visiting with Santa so bring your camera!!
