Shrimpfest 2012
Another Shrimpfest has come and gone! Plans went off without a hitch even though the weather threatened to put a damper on the event. Two days packed with beauty pageants, tournaments, pony rides, contests and best of all – music and great food! This year there were over fifty vendors with arts, crafts and a variety of delicious dishes. Vendors brought everything from shrimp po-boys to snow cones!
It's no doubt, Shrimpfest starts off the summer. We all look forward to watching the bay front come alive with all of the fun festivities which chamber members plan for months. A captivating addition to this year’s line up was the Brazos Bottom Cowographers. They drew quite a crowd bringing the spirit of the Old West to the coast. The music line up was fantastic and drew in quite a crowd.
Look for information regarding the 2013 Shrimpfest soon!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Theresa M. Dent, Principal and
