Several residents have stated that the setting for a J.C, Penny swimwear commercial looks very similar to Blue Hole and these residents would be correct because it is in fact Blue Hole!
Blue Hole has been discovered by commercial advertisers with the help from the Texas Film Commission. In addition to the J.C, Penny ad, this spring commercials for Dairy Queen and Frost Bank have also been filmed at Blue Hole. Just last year, an ad for Shiner Beer was filmed at Blue Hole and is now currently appearing on YouTube and on posters.
For the J.C, Penny commercial, the Dairy Queen commercial and the Frost Bank commercial, the city has brought in more than $5,000 this spring. The city collects a fee for each shoot, fees are based on the amount of time the park is used, the equipment and the number of people in the shoot. The revenue from these shoots goes into the city’s Blue Hole operating fund.
