Saturday night hundreds gathered for the 3rd annual East Montgomery County Buyers Group Crawfish Boil. The event was held at Bull Sallas Park. Over 3500 pounds of crawfish, along with catfish were served. It was an all-you-can-eat event. It was followed by an auction which also brought in thousands of dollars. One shotgun went for $4600. Entertainment was provided by Payton Howie. All proceeds from general fundraisers are paid out through “add-ons” during the premium sale at both the EMC Fair and Montgomery County Fair during the premium sale at each fair.
A part of the Group is the 100 Club. By joining the East Montgomery County 100 Club you will be a part of a special club. The EMC Buyers Group will use all contributions to the 100 club to purchase livestock projects at the East Montgomery county fair. The mission of the East Montgomery County Buyers Group is to secure the promise of FFA, 4-H, and Agriculture education by creating an environment where people and communities can develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. The $100 Club helps them complete their mission by contributing in different ways to student members involved with the New Caney, Porter, and Splendora FFA or 4-H programs. The goal of The 100 Club is to pool together the resources of many to make a larger impact on those students which will benefit all exhibitors. For every 100 donated you will receive one entry into the drawing for any purchased livestock projects. Any processing fees will be the responsibility of the winning member. The EMC Buyers Group is a 501-c3 non-profit organization, all contributions are tax-deductible.
