"Bugs on the Bay" 2023 Fifth Annual Warrior Weekend Bayou Vista Fundraiser

Fifth Annual Warrior Weekend Bayou Vista Fundraiser

 

The “Bugs on the Bay” event officially shall be and forever more known as the Annual “Warrior Weekend Bayou Vista” Fundraiser!

Our 2022 Fundraising Event was the second opened event and the return from the “Lockdowns” of ‘2020’ and ‘2021’. And what a wonderful turn out we had from our Bayou Vista residents and other supporters in the area. The “City of Bayou Vista” offered the use of the Bayou Vista Community Center and the MUD district supplied trash services at no expense. The event was “Sold Out” for the second year with more than 200 attendees showing up to give their support “What a Great Time & A Huge Success! Thanks for your continuing support!

This year please don’t hesitate in purchasing your tickets prior to the event. No tickets will be sold on the event date or at the event gate. There’s nothing worse than telling our supporters that we are “Sold Out”, so when you see the tickets “On Sale” don’t delay please purchase early and stay late.

This Year’s 2023 Event is once again being at The Bayou Vista Community Center

May 6th, 2023 @ 12-Noon until 6:00

Once again, this Event is Underwritten so 100% of all proceeds go straight to the “Warrior Weekend Bayou Vista” Project. We are always looking for additional sponsorships and donations.

The “Warrior Weekend @ Bayou Vista” is a recognized 501(c)(3) organization with a 100% volunteer group of folks that has been involved with supporting our brave men and women of the Armed Forces for the last 10-years. These volunteers honor between 50 and 60 veterans throughout summer.

Each group of 10-15 warriors arrives on a Friday afternoon for a meet and greet luncheon with their host Julie Mims, their volunteer boat Captains, along with other volunteers from Bayou Vista. As mentioned, Bayou Bistro has been a huge supporter by providing a luncheon for everyone. The warriors are then off to their hotel for the night along with local restaurant and entertainment gift certificate options.

On Saturday morning, the group meets up at the Mims residence to grab breakfast, fruits, and snacks before boarding their assigned boat for a full day of fishing. Upon returning to the dock, fish are weighed and cleaned, stories are told, lunch is served, and awards and gifts are handed out. Afterwards, the group can sit around to visit, head to the hotel to clean up, go to dinner or go out on the town.

They return on Sunday to give thanks before picking up their catch and heading back home. The warriors are honored, fed, fished, and housed at no cost to themselves or their families. Trust me when I say this is wonderful experience to be a part of.

“Bugs on the Bay” 2023 would like to invite you in partnering up to help support our local “Warrior Weekend Bayou Vista.” The event will be on Saturday May 06, 2023, from 12:00pm – 6:00pm with “All you can eat Crawfish” and trimmings, door prizes, raffle items, silent auction, live music, and a wonderful time.
