Andrea Machen, Executive Director at Moody Area Chamber of Commerce
Oktoberfest
My favorite event is Oktoberfest, of course! It is our annual fall festival where the community comes together for a car show, arts, crafts, live entertainment, fun activities and great food! This is an event the chamber hosts each year; so of course, it’s going to be my pick although we have many great events in Moody.
Sports Fields
My favorite outdoor spot is any sports field that my sweet grandson is playing on! I love sports, and when he is on the field, it makes it even better.
Backyard
My backyard is where we watch the sunsets. It’s where I would swing my grandson as a baby; it’s where my family gathers for fun times and where I go for my quiet time.
Family Time
There are so many memories! I enjoyed hosting and performing in Moody’s first Dancing with the Stars, assisting with our 9/11 Day of Remembrance and celebrating the chamber’s 20th year, but most of all, I love the memories of being at home with my family! My husband and I have two sons and one grandson (at this time), and we love to cook together, play games and watch movies.
Raul’s Mexican Restaurant and Wharf Casual Seafood
My favorite dish to get at a restaurant in Moody is a tie between the blackened shrimp from Wharf Casual Seafood and steak and rice topped with cheese dip (but without the rice and add grilled onions) at Raul’s.
