Patriotic Concert

On Jan. 25th the Rockport-Fulton HS Band and Choir presented a stirring program saluting all veteran and active duty military personnel and honoring America. The choir and band members gave an outstanding performance; sound effects to enhance the music and the message exhilarated the audience. Everyone participated by standing when the music for their branch of service or their family members was played and that service flag came front and center. Everyone left with uplifted spirits and renewed appreciation for country and defenders of liberty. (Video is a bit shaky but the music is outstanding.)

Oysterfest 2009 Parade

Oysterfest is a fund-raising event for the Fulton, TX, VFD. This year our support group partnered with the Brisket Bums cook-off team to decorate and man a float for the parade. Carla helped decorate and was joined by Carol and Tommy Woodman. Along with the Brisket Bums they spread the word along the parade route. Pfc William Loosemore (on our boxing list) and 3 of his buddies from our area, all on active duty , led the float on its route and received loud cheering and support. The float won the 1st place trophy!!! Well deserved!
