Last week I was able to attend a couple of events and had a great time visiting with you and enjoying your entertainment. We first went to Pastor Pudge’s Gospel Music Extravaganza last Tuesday. The Winter Ranch rec hall was practically full of Winter Texans listening and singing along to some great gospel music. It was a lovely afternoon. Tuesday evening, I went out to Fun and Sun to see Brett Marshall and his group perform. I had never heard them before and was pleasantly surprised. I loved the sound that was a mix of big band and jazz. He covered a lot of familiar tunes. Fun N Sun’s hall was full as well. I also had the opportunity to eat out at Victoria Palms. I had their hamburger steak with mushrooms and gravy, some mashed potatoes, and sauteed veggies. It was nicely done and was the perfect thing for the beautiful day it was outside. Wednesday morning, I had a chance to visit with one of our volunteers and get things settled for Valley Star Awards. We met out at Biscuits and Gravy for a nice breakfast. After a biscuits and gravy sampling, which is always good, I decided to have something different off the menu and tried their French toast. It was good, as is everything we try, and I look forward to havIt’s been busy around here ing it again – and a biscuit and gravy too. We are looking forward to a great show in a couple of weeks.

The Mission Historical Museum gladly presents a special screening of the 1979 western film: She Came to the Valley. The film is based on the novel written by local author, Cleo Dawson. Who is Cleo Dawson? Cleo Dawson was born in 1902. Her family was one of the first pioneer families who helped transform the frontier town of Mission into an incorporated city. They were the owners of one of the first convenience stores, Caballo Blanco. Her novel is inspired by the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Mission, Texas during its pioneer days. It is said to be based on Dawson’s mother’s experiences. The film was shot in South Texas’s Rio Grande Valley and Oklahoma. In its first run it broke weekend attendance records at Rio Grande theatres. Date and showtimes are February 8th (10 a.m. and 2 p.m.), February 9th (10 a.m. and 2 p.m.).
