Here’s hoping you and yours already have purchased your tickets for the Texas City-La Marque Chamber of Commerce’s annual Shrimp Boil & Dance, which will be from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday at the Rotary Pavilion at Nessler Park, 1801 Ninth Ave. N. in Texas City.
If you haven’t, and are looking for something to do that supports a great cause, you still have time.
