Hello readers! I hope you have had a great week. We have had a pretty good one ourselves.

This past Saturday we were able to enjoy some time out at a business expo at Alamo Palms. We had so much fun talking to the Winter Texans that visited the expo.

Some shared how long they have been coming to the Valley. One gentleman shared that he had been in the same park, same home, for over 20 years. Another shared that she had been coming to the Valley since the 70s. Originally coming to the Valley to visit her parents.

It’s fun to hear about how much you enjoy the Valley and everything else you get to do and see while you are here.

People talked about the news, how the calendar helps them decide where to go, and the places they get to visit and know about because of the paper, our Visitors Guide, or what they learn from fellow Winter Texans.

Our next big event that we will be at is the Winter Texan Fiesta. We always look forward to this event. It’s Mission’s way of saying ‘Thank You’ to the Winter Texans that visit the city or make the city their winter home.

Mission is still the city that has the most WT parks in the Valley. That’s why we stay in Mission. That’s why the paper was founded in 1987 in Mission. My father-in-law saw the need for a special publication for the Winter Texans. Being involved in City stuff, the Lion’s Club, and other things in the city, he saw what the Winter Texans brought to the Mission area, and to the Valley. And this was created for you.

We strive to make this your paper. Share your news. Share what matters to you.

Please share your news and photos with us. You can send items to news@wintertexantimes.com.

We LOVE to hear from you.
