Every holiday season, the spirit of giving comes alive during the Annual Freeport to Port O’Connor Toy Run. This year the boats dealt with cold, wind and rain as they made the 72-mile trek from Freeport to Port O’Connor. Weather cannot stop this group as they continue to spread holiday cheer to children in need.
After the presents were unloaded and the sun went down the boats lined up for the annual Christmas Lighted Boat Parade. The participants shifted their focus and adorned each vessel with strings of colorful lights, festive garlands, and sparkling ornaments. The parade was not as lengthy as in past years, but all the activities resulted in a colorful celebration that left a lasting impression on participants and spectators. We really appreciate Charlie and Susan Upshaw for volunteering their home to host the judges for this event
Thank you, Darla Parker, Michelle Davis and Bridgett Burnet, for your efforts and time with installing the lighted trees at the community center.
