5 WINTER TEXAN TIMES www.wintertexantimes.com JANUARY 31, 2024 Leslie Blasing isn’t new to the Valley Star Awards circuit. Many people don’t realize how many Valley Star Awards Leslie has won. After winning Entertainer of the Year three times, and Female Vocalist five times, Leslie was awarded the Lifetime Award in 2018. These are only a few of the awards she has received in her over 40-year career of singing. Leslie, having started her singing career in San Antonio, began singing At South Padre Island in 1994. Now she can be found singing at the Island’s main hot spots year-round and at Winter Texan parks during the Winter Texan season. She performs for dances and shows mainly, and she puts on a few of her own themed productions (Winter Fest, Where the Hell is Alice, etc.) throughout the season, and during her tour in the summer – in which she makes her way all the way to Canada. At the end of July, she heads out on her “Tour to the North,” performing mostly at VFWs, Elks Lodge’s, American Legions, and the sort. She does a lot of fundraising for all kinds of causes including Habitat for Humanity and an organization that helps train dogs for wounded veterans. Leslie said she enjoys entertaining, and especially Winter Texans. “I get to spend weeks and weeks, year after year, with my friends from the north. I actually get to know them, and they become more than just visitors to me, they are family.” “The Winter Texans are a huge ball of crazy, fun friends that I get the pleasure of seeing and getting to know. It is much more of a personal relationship… and that is what I like the most. And that is the reason I do my Tour to the North… I don’t have to wait a whole year to see them, I get to visit them in their own cities and states, while doing a wonderful service of fundraising for their Valley Star Awards welcomes Leslie Blasing communities back home. It is truly a win-win!” Leslie said she has lot of stories she can tell about the wonderful, quirky, fun things that she has experienced throughout the years of her career. She might have to write a book she said about those experiences. But the one thing most don’t know about her is that she loves farming and ranching. “It is my soul and I really miss it.” “I make my living surrounded by the most beautiful scenic bluegreen Gulf of Mexico waters and swaying palm trees, but I sure do miss the dark, rich soil and crops popping up in rows … and especially being around my cattle and the shade of the huge oak trees.” She still has property near San Antonio, so she said she is blessed to have the best of both worlds – Sand, dirt, palm trees, and oak trees. During the season, Leslie keeps herself busy. Her music ranges about five decades – having something for everyone ready in just a moment. You can find her schedules online by following her on Facebook where she keeps her followers updated about where she is going to be and when. We are excited to have her be a part of this year’s Valley StarAwards and answer the questions of why she isn’t on the ballot anymore. Leslie Blasing. Courtesy photo

7 WINTER TEXAN TIMES www.wintertexantimes.com JANUARY 31, 2024 Dale and Gayle Eisenhauer, mostly known as just Dale and Gayle, have been coming to the Valley for 15 years. And that’s also how long they have been entertaining with a guitar, keyboard, and their voices – and a little comedy thrown in from time to time. As retired schoolteachers, they are now living their dream, traveling and playing music, having a ball year-round. The duo says, their greatest reward is playing in the parks and at Ace’s BBQ, where they have been playing for 13 years. They love being able to interact with their audience, take requests, and also let the audience participate. You can quickly tell they love to entertain; they love what they do, and they love their audience – But more than that, they love each other and are always giving each other that special look, smile, or wink during their shows. Gayle says that a lot of Winter Texans are of German descent and/or have a farming background. “Those are Dale’s people, since he is both of those,” she said. “We love to visit with them and have a good rapport with them.” Gayle also has an alter ego character named Mrs. Crabapple. She has become a big part of their show. Dressed as an old lady, she usually calls the manager of the park to complain about assorted things. She plays the part so well, that at one park she was waiting outside the door to come in for the skit and a lady with a walker said, “Here dear, let me get that door for you.” Gayle, walking kind of shaky with her cane, played the part and let the lady help her. One summer, playing in Arkansas, Dale, dressed up as Mr. Crabapple, played the part of mayor of Pickles Gap, AR and handed out stickers to people declaring them a “big dill.” “That was a fun gig,” said Gayle as she related the story. Dale and Gayle have an over 1,000 song repertoire consisting Dale and Gayle love to play of everything from classic to current country, folk, cowboy, gospel, rock & pop, and comedy songs. They even have CD’s of each genre. They play shows, dances, and happy hours. Besides their shows, Dale has been a pastor and Gayle the music leader in two different winter parks they have lived in. They are always open to doing gospel shows or entire church services. This year they are also performing with Ambassadors of Grace for a Children’s Haven International benefit concert. If you can’t catch them at a park, or at the Valley Star Awards, try catching them at the Mission or Edinburg Ace’s. Otherwise, you can find their schedule at DaleAndGayle.com or find them on Facebook. Dale and Gayle. Courtesy photo
