On November 27th we held our First Annual Poker Run Tournament. We had a nice turnout even though the weather was pretty nasty. Congratulations to our low hand winner Madeline Proctor who had a pair of twos and our high hand winner with a full house, Jeanne Newberry. We look forward to this being an annual event on Thanksgiving weekend.
We hope you got a chance to watch the Annual Boat Parade on December 4th. The boat parade was awesome as usual, but the true spirit of this event happened earlier in the day. Around 2:00 p.m. the boats turned the corner at Clark’s loaded down with toys and bikes stacked on the bows. An overwhelming sight for sure. A huge thank you to our friends from Freeport and surrounding areas who make the long trip to deliver toys for our community. After they unload the toys, they immediately start decorating their boats for the parade. A long day for our Christmas heroes!!!!
The Chamber has purchased and donated to the Port O’Connor Community Center, a 70” Smart TV along with a HDMI extender. This will be great for memorial services (pictures), business presentations, leader boards for fishing tournaments, and so much more! The HDMI transmitter will mirror your laptop or phone screen onto the TV screen. It has been installed and now available for those users of the building.
Please enjoy the lighted Christmas trees at the Community Center. Thank you to Michelle Davis, Darla Parker and Hayden Reigert for putting up the trees and Malcolm Hein, for getting the electrical out to the trees.
The annual Christmas party was held on December 10th and five members were elected to the 2022-2023 board. The re-elected members are Dawn Ragusin, Darla Parker and Brent Hart. Our new members are Terri McGuire, and Ronna Fishbeck.
