“Fiesta” was short and sweet as Winter Texans celebrated Alamo’s Texas Independence Day with a parade on a brightly lit sunshine-filled Saturday morning.
The Alamo Chamber of Commerce sponsored parade drew a large crowd of mostly residents from Winter Ranch and Trophy Gardens RV Parks in Alamo. The parade was to honor Alamo resident Irene Martinez, who has been a faithful parade spectator for many years, but not able to come this year. And the parade honors the memory of those Texans who declared independence from Mexico in 1836 and also commemorates the 13-day siege inspiring the message to “Remember the Alamo” in San Antonio, where 189 defenders died 189 years ago.

In a place where your MH & RV resort is a community of its own with lots of friends to share in a whole array of fun activities.
