Join us for the 12th Annual Toy Run. Boats depart Bridge Bait in Freeport at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, December 6, for the trip down the ICW to Port O’Connor to deliver new toys to the Adopt-An-Angel program. Last year we provided Christmas toys for over 2,000 boys and girls ages 2 through 16 and this year we have been asked to help even more. Please donate new toys or money to this great cause. Our elves will assist you with any questions you may have. Just give them a call.
