Beaumont Chamber, City Council welcomes Costa Concordia


Beaumont City Councilman Bubba Pate announced that southeast Texas will now be a port of call for Carnival Corporation's Costa Concordia. This new cruise ship stop will coincide with Beaumont's mudhole project and yet to be completed events center and the proposed ditch downtown. The city is currently negotiating with several different mosquito farms to stock the new attractions with as many exotic insects that the venues can sustain.

The Beaumont Chamber of Commerce held a parade to officially welcome Carnival. A few mishaps occurred during opening ceremonies when a toddler was killed and the cruise ship ran aground and capsized near the I-10 and Neches River bridge.
