With the 1st Annual Flour Fest under their belts, the members of the Flour Bluff Business Association Board of Directors, have deemed the event a success!
“It took all of us to pull this huge effort together, and I believe is was hugely successful,” said Melanie Hambrick, President of the FBBA. “We have talked about the importance of getting together while the event is fresh in our minds to talk about what went as we envisioned and what we’d like to improve upon.”

It was hot outside, but not too hot for Owen Beseda to take a few whacks at a junker to raise money for the FBFD Santa float. His dad is doing a little bragging to a fellow firefighter.

If it had gotten too hot, these fine county firefighters were on the scene to douse the flames. These folks make Christmas special by preparing and manning the Santa float each year, an event unique to Flour Bluff.
