A big thank you goes out to everyone who supported the Kingsville Chamber of Commerce Hollywood Game Night last Saturday evening at the Bishop Chemcel Club. Despite the stormy weather earlier in the day, it was a fun evening of Texas Hold’Em, Black Jack and the Chamber Loteria.

First place in the poker tournament went to Emilio Castro, second place to Mr. Cox, and third place to Andy Gonzales. With twelve great prizes to win, the black jack tables were also kept busy.

The Chamber Loteria, an exclusive bingo-type game designed with Kingsville business logos was also a hit. Thanks to everyone who bought a spot.

Special thanks to our “celebrity dealers” David Rosse, Sandra Jefferson, Travis Byers, Andrew Rickner, Connie Allen, Maria Rodriquez, and Thomas Bingham. Volunteer dealers Lance Hamm, Jay Schoenfeld, Otto Looney and Charlie Michalk were also on-hand to help out with the evening’s entertainment. Rey Sifuentes, tournament director, kept everyone on track and dealt the final poker table.
