We had a great weekend at The Vineyards Campground honoring Texas military families!We welcomed soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas, and their families for a relaxing day of fishing, boating, and picnicing on the campground. The Vineyards Campground hosted the Saturday event sponsored by the Grpaevine chapter of 'Take a Soldier Fishing.'
Local volunteer boaters arrived at daybreak to launch from the campground boat ramp and shoreline. After a warm welcome to the soldiers and their families at the campground Pavilion, fishermen jumped on boats for a great day on the lake! Grapevine Lake is well-known for wide-mouth Bass, crappie, and catfish.
Returning at noon to show off their catches, the group also was joined by Veterans from WWII visiting from local Woodridge Nursing Home.
There were very touching moments as servicemen expressed appreciation to each other for
their service to America. Lunch was furnished AMBUCS, Weinbergs Deli, and Sonic. Following lunch, the group was treated to a tour of the lake and more fishing.
