The Hunt For Bolivar

Started in the summer of 2018, The Hunt For Bolivar sent people all over and around Bolivar to see the beauty of Bolivar Peninsula and learning the history of our 27 miles of paradise. It was made to get visitors, vacationers, and property owners out to travel around Bolivar and learn some of the histories Bolivar holds that they may not of known. It’s was a BIG success with people traveling as far as Lufkin and Dallas for the final weekly hunt on Bolivar Peninsula wherein 2018 was worth $550.
