We have heard great things from our advertisers, and from you about the food in the Rio Grande Valley. We want to thank all of our readers who follow this feature and regularly visit some of our favorite Valley foodie spots. We know our advertisers appreciate your patronage as well. Each issue throughout the season has featured one of our Taste of the Valley restaurants, highlighting their specials, their uniqueness, and why we love them. We have shared our experiences about the great food we get to enjoy at these restaurants. We hope you have had the chance to join us on our gastro-tour of the Valley as we hit the different dining spots. We hope you have been able to enjoy some of the same locations as we have. If you have a favorite dining spot that we have not visited, that you think needs to be featured here, call us at (956) 580-7800 or email us at news@wintertexantimes.com. Or let them know they need to advertise with us. And if you have visited any of our current advertisers, let them know you saw them in the Winter Texan Times. others, are so grateful to you. We thank the activity directors and park managers for making sure you have something to do while you are here. They work endlessly to make sure there is entertainment, activities, and food – so much food – for you to have. Our paper has been sharing these events year after year since 1987, and we love seeing the different types of activities, the new activities – like when pickleball came around – and all the fun you have. Your parks and community love having you here and making sure to keep you happy while you are visiting. We want to thank you, our readers, park owners and managers, activity directors, and Wintertainers™ for the great community you have built here in the Rio Grande Valley. Without this community – without you – we would not have this opportunity to work and play in your community and bring your community newspaper to you every week from October through March. Again, we had so much fun this year and look forward to an exciting season next year. Thank you for this great season. We love our Winter Texans, and we pray for your health and safety as you travel back north – and on your return next season. Stay safe and healthy, and hurry back next fall. We can’t wait to do this again!
