There are dances, entertainment, happy hours, dinners, dances, pool, pickleball, sewing groups, reading clubs, and so much more. We love seeing photos on Facebook of all the activities y’all are participating in. It makes me want to be out there more often. This week, I had the chance to go to the Gospel Extravaganza at Winter Ranch. I went last year and enjoyed it, but had to go again because one, it was on my birthday, and two, to not only catch up with Bob and Alta, but also see Scott, who I haven’t seen since he performed at a Valley Star Awards years ago with Absolutely Country, Definitely Gospel. It’s a yearly event where proceeds are donated to local charities. Different performers join Bob and Alta each year. If you didn’t catch it this year, be sure to watch next season for next year’s dates. I look forward to these yearly events and catching new Wintertainers™ and seeing familiar faces as well. Do you have any special events you look forward to each year? Any reunions, special dances, a certain Wintertainer™? Share what you look forward to each year. You can send what you love about the RGV to news@wintertexantimes.com. ~ Rina RAMBLINGS From pg. 1
