Breakfast with the Stars

The Palacios Area Fund hosts a unique fundraiser for children of all ages.  With assistance from the Art, Theatre Arts, and Cosmetology department students and staff of Palacios High School, families were invited to come spend the morning strolling around to meet and pose for pictures with 19 of their favorite characters and local celebrities. The magical morning included pictures, autographs, door prizes and lots of smiles. Many local business and individuals sponsored the event making it fun for everyone.
 

Planks on the Pier
