The 59th Sylvan Beach Festival,
sponsored by the La Porte-Bayshore
Chamber of Commerce, began Friday,
April 24, with the barbecue teams and
the carnival set-up. There were vendor
booths and live entertainment started
with Sundance Head, then Cameran
Nelson, and last but not least Cody
Johnson.
Saturday started with a few drops of
rain (usual Sylvan Beach Day weather) and all of the parade participants
standing around anxious. They lined
up the participants, and then everyone
ran for cover. Later, hopes were high
again as it looked like the sun was
peeking through the clouds. Then the
final decision came down from the
La Porte Police that the lightning was
too bad, so the parade was canceled
– one of the three known times in the
parade’s history.
The candidates for Miss Sylvan
Beach, along with all of the sponsors,
were surely disappointed, but sponsors were still very proud of their
representatives. The judging of the
floats was accomplished, but at press
time no details are available.
Around noon the sun was bright
and spirits were high. Sylvan Beach
was open to the public with the carnival and cotton candy, the cook-off
judging, arts and crafts booths, food
vendors, games and the crowning of
Miss Sylvan Beach 2015 and Jr. Miss
Sylvan Beach 2015. The entertainment line-up started with the Space
City Cowboys, Jason Cassidy Band
featuring Jake Worthington and Mike
and the Moonpies. The crowd stayed
until the park closed. Many thanks
to Harris County Commissioner,
Precinct 2, Jack Morman, for allowing
use of the park.
