The Crawfish Festival is just around the corner, April 29th to be exact, and we have initiated pre-sales for beer tickets and entry wristbands on our website.

During the festival, go check out the 2022 Polaris Ranger Premium SP250 the chamber is raffling off this year. Tickets will be $100, with only 500 sold. The drawing is scheduled for October 8, 2023, or sooner if we sell out of tickets. Other fun activities you won’t want to miss are the crawfish eating contest, cornhole tournament and horseshoe tournament. Get to the festival early to get your Peoples Choice wristband which entitles you to sample the cookers’ amazing crawfish. Plates of crawfish will also be sold for $25.00. Come early and hungry.
As we mentioned last month, the Port O’Connor Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Nueces River Authority in cleaning up our Beaches and Bays. The UP2U yellow litter bags will be placed in boxes near the Kingfisher pier, along Kingfisher Park, the little jetties and other strategic places to help collect litter. We are providing the bags free of charge, in hopes that you will grab one to collect your trash in and place in the trash cans in the area. Please help us keep our beaches and bays clean and free of trash!
