Health care on the high seas

GALVESTON — On a night in June, a small crew of students from the University of Texas Medical Branch set sail from Galveston, with medical supplies in tow, to the small coastal town of Seadrift, marking the maiden voyage of the Coastal Community Care project, a floating, free health care clinic dedicated to improving the health of those living in remote areas along the Gulf Coast.

The Seadrift Chamber of Commerce members and the community gathered on Wednesday, August 4th to celebrate Bubba’s Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony!

Bubba and Sylvia welcomed everyone with lots of other tasty treats on the house! Live music, laughter and a spicy aroma filled the room as trays and trays of shrimp, blue crab, Dungeness crab, crawfish, potatoes, sausage and corn were enjoyed by all. The laid back, coastal atmosphere was definitely the place to be!

“Thank you to all that have helped make this happen.” said Bubba as he proudly stood in front of the crowd in his white shrimper boots. “We would not be here if it wasn’t for the staff, our friends and everyone’s hard work and support.”

It was a great event and if you didn’t make it to the grand opening, check it out soon. Bubba’s now serves juicy steaks plus BYOB, can it get any better?

Super Time at Shrimpfest 2010

jas_deity — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:28:11 +0000

The 30th Anniversary of Shrimpfest Seadrift, Texas has come and gone. Everyone had a stellar time, there was plenty of shrimp meals to feast on, tournaments, helicopter rides, music and best of all friends! Many attendees grew up in Seadrift or in near by towns and come back each year to see old friends and reminisce growing up in the happenin' little coastal town.

Rebecca Statler Ellard wrote on Facebook, "Oh must say that this years Ms Bayrat was the best Yet! Awesome job by the Contestants! I was ROLLING Laughing!"

It's amazing to see the bay front's transformation each year. For 2010 the Seadrift Chamber brought in a second stage and tent to cool off under, the windy breeze kept some of the heat away, but the tin boat race and other events had to be canceled due to the weather. It did not stop Shrimpfesters from having a good ol' time.

Cindy Goff posted on Facebook, "The whole family enjoyed Shrimpfest w/the youngest (14) flying on the helicopter!!! Terrific time cannot wait 'til next year!!!"

30th Anniversary merchandise quickly sold out, it was evident everyone wanted to keep a momento of the 30th year. Our website received 3,000 hits in the last month alone, visitors came as far away as the UK! No joke... The Shrimpfest page on Facebook had over 700 fans when the gates opened June 11th and continues to grow in numbers.

Thanks to all that volunteered, thanks to all that helped plan this event since 2009 and to all that attended. The Seadrift Chamber looks forward to next year and stay tuned for more info about contestants that won events and photos.
