count on them.”
There is no age limit or
size limit to model, she said.
“Society is not the 5’11”
model that is a size 3. That’s
not reality,” she said.
“I let the girls pick what
they model. I like them to
be daring. I tell them wear
something you wouldn’t
normally wear, but it is open
to pajamas to an evening gown
or a nice coat, or business and
play attire. I think anything
goes because you don’t know
who is sitting in the audience
and what is going on in their
lives,” Kokena said.
She said the style show is
an opportunity for the women
in attendance to think outside
of the box, too, when it comes
to their personal style.
“I would like them to
think outside of the box when
dressing for the day to do
something a little daring, as
long as you feel good in what
you wear,” Kokena said. “I don’t
worry about what other people
are thinking. One day I may
feel like being businesslike and
another day I feel like being a
gypsy.”
Tickets are $15 presale.
Kokena expects about 150
to attend, but she prints 200
tickets. Tables are available.
Each table seats eight.

anticipated.
Other factors contributing
to the general fund surplus
included more culvert
installations than expected
and an increased number of
golf registrations issued, the
mayor added.
For the harbor fund,
there was a $8,203.69 surplus.
Revenue was $114,262.04 and
expenses totaled $106,058.35.
While the harbor fund saw a
surplus in 2014-2015, DeForest
said it was a smaller amount
than in previous years due to
delayed lease payments from
those who utilize slips at the
harbor as well as using funds
to add limestone to a harbor
area road.
In the hotel/motel fund,
total revenue was $24,751 and
expenses were $4,500 for a
remaining positive balance
of $20,251.26 DeForest cited
the lack of spending budgeted
funds that were expected to
happened in 2014-2015.
Additionally, DeForest
reviewed work from various
departments for the recently
ended fiscal year. From Oct.
2014 through Sept. 2015, there
were five water taps and three
sewer taps installed in the city
with two water taps installed
at Swan Point Landing. He
added that 25 culverts were
added within the city.
On another matter, Mary
Belle Meitzen, chairman of
the Calhoun County Historical
Commission, spoke to the
council about obtaining a
silhouette similar to the one
installed in Port Lavaca at
Bayfront Peninsula Park. The
council took no action on the
matter, and is expected to come
before the council again at a
later date.

with Councilwoman Peggy
Gaines on the project, said
CCHC will cover the cost of
the silhouette with the city
providing the silhouette’s
support frame and installing it
in concrete.
The commission, Meitzen
added, is considering several
items to be depicted in the
silhouette including the
Seadrift bathhouse, a shrimp
boat constructed in Seadrift
and a locomotive.
Should the city choose
to have a silhouette, it would
likely be at the bayfront or
near the train depot museum
on Main Street.
“This is our way of helping
to emphasize the importance
of either the socialness of the
pavilion or the economics from
the shrimp or the importance
of loading your vegetables on
the transportation,” Meitzen
said.
During the public forum,
Seadrift resident Jack LaBarge
voiced his concerns about
allowing livestock in the city,
even though certain animals
are permissible by the city’s
livestock ordinance.
Another Seadrift resident,
who lives near LaBarge,
approached DeForest about
having sheep within city
limits, the mayor said.
DeForest added sheep are an
allowed animal in Seadrift.
LaBarge encouraged the
council to consider amending
the ordinance at a future
meeting.
DeForest also told those
in attendance that the next
brush pickup will take place
sometime in the spring.
In other business, council
members:
-In a 3-0-1 vote, nominated
Eldin Gaines for membership
spent on animal control, and
there were 24 hours callout
hours. He also reported that
five dogs and eight cats were
impounded while 15 wild
animals were caught.
-Heard from DeForest
that 14 man-hours were spent
working on the library at city
hall.
-Heard from Gaines,
who reported that city
crews completed nine work
orders and 58 hours of work
for the parks department
in September. Total labor,

adding that power poles were
removed from the baseball
field
-Heard from the mayor
regarding the harbor. DeForest
said three work orders and
nine hours were worked at the

Councilwoman June Cantrell
for the during the utilities

-Heard from Councilman
Geoff Hunt, on a project in
the city. He said crews spent

at the county treasurer’s office,
the Port Lavaca Wave and the

When it comes to
organizing the luncheon
and style show, Kokena has
followed in her late mother
Virginia Boyd’s footsteps.
“My mother used to
coordinate the luncheon and
style show in the 1970s,” she
said.
Kokena modeled in the
style show when she was a
Travis Middle School student.
“I took it over for several
years, and for some reason the
association decided not to have
it anymore. Then they asked
me to bring it back,” she said.
“I brought it back because
I think it’s a good thing.
There’s not a lot out there for
the working ladies or anything
that is catered to them,”
Kokena said. “I do it to help
the vendors out and the stores.
Southern Sass and Bealls told
me this really helps them.
When you get here you see
women walking in the clothes
people think you know I could
wear that. That really looks
cute. I think it gives people a
perspective of what is offered
in Calhoun County to keep the
business here as much as we
can.”
“It causes a lot of gray
hairs, but it is worth it. I am
exhausted the day after, but I
enjoy it,” she said.
