run away when I pulled out my camera.
LORE: Movie: ‘Alamo Bay’
Released in 1985 - The film was
mostly shot at Fulton Harbor and
at the harbor in Seadrift, and a few
of our local residents auditioned
as extras. Notable was our own
Carolyn Farnsworth who won a
minor role.

With only a few pages left in this book,
we would like to thank those wonderful
ladies at the Aransas County Historical
Society. They’re the ones who made this
book possible. Consisting primarily of
‘retired School Teachers’, their efforts to
preserve the History of Aransas County
is commendable. (And they make great
cookies!) We at Pardillion Arts salute you
and extend to you our humble gratitude.
