ROCKPORT, Texas — Country star George Strait leads a new tourism campaign for Hurricane Harvey-damaged Rockport and Fulton nearly 10 months after the storm devastated the area he sometimes calls home.
Officials with the Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce say Strait, who’s owned a house in the community for years, participated free of charge.
Strait is part of the “Find Yourself in Rockport-Fulton” radio and TV campaign to encourage tourists to return to the area hard-hit when Harvey made landfall in August. Strait talks about one of his favourite places is the “Rockport-Fulton area on the coast.”
He visited the area last September, joining Gov. Greg Abbott, to encourage residents.
