Report and photos by Aaron Day, special guest writer

Saturday brought yet another evening of family fun and shrimp eating as the Texas City- La Marque Chamber of Commerce held its annual shrimp boil and dance at Texas City’s Nessler Center. For more than 30 years, the shrimp boil has been a cherished occasion for a consistent crowd of roughly 1,000 people each year, with buckets upon buckets of shrimp, dancing, music and its renowned shrimp-eating contest. Along with the entertainment and food, this year’s event was particularly special as the chamber honored Dexter Guillory of Louisiana-based Riceland Crawfish to mark the fact that, after 22 years boiling shrimp for the event, he was retiring when the evening was done. Then it was time for the famous shrimp-eating contest. Wes Brown won first place for being Above left, county tax collector Cheryl Johnson whoops for joy as the first to finish his tray – a feat he performed before the MC could introduce all the contestants. “Team Johnson" member Wes Brown retains his shrimp-eating-contest Lasting quite a bit longer were local favorite Pee Wee Bowen and his band, who played the title; above right, chamber president Jimmy Hayley, left, and Talbert evening out with some good old classics that soon had the audience rockin ’n’ rollin’.
