Hello friends! The next month or so is very busy for us, and possibly you as well. There are so many bigger events coming up soon that we will attend, and I am sure you might attend some of them as well.

Coming up is the Ron Hoover Open House, RGV Woodcarvers Show, Texas Citrus Fiesta, Clayton Anniversary, Festival of Tables, RGV Livestock Show …. Just to name a few. We’ll be out and about at these and other events in the Valley. It’s always fun to be out there and get to visit with you.

And don’t forget, we have our Valley Star Awards next month. I am really looking forward to seeing who wins this year’s awards. Starting today, you will be able to vote for your favorites. It’s also sure to be a great show. We try to outdo ourselves each year, and this year, with having mostly Valley Star Awards winners performing, I am sure it will be a delight.

The City of McAllen is currently having their Golden Age Olympics. I am sure many of you are participating in those events. We would love to see photos and hear some recaps from you about what you are doing at them. We love highlighting your wins, and everything else you enjoy doing during your time in the Valley. Who is going to be the winning park this year?

What else are you participating in this season? Parades, Red Hatter groups, sewing groups, quilt making, etc.? We would love to see your photos and see what you are doing in your park.

If there is something you would like to see or know more about, let us know and we’ll see what we can do. We want to share your news, and we want to share what you want to read.

Be sure to check out our advertisers. In our paper you can find advertisers that are here to serve you. Our Taste of the Valley features some really good places to eat – and that Anastasia has really enjoyed visiting, and they love to see you. Let them know you saw them right here in the Winter Texan Times. If you don’t see something that should be here, let them, or us, know.

If you have anything to share with us (stories, story ideas, photos), please send it in to news@wintertexantimes.com.
