The last couple of seasons I was able to attend some Halloween parties. Y’all sure do have a lot of fun at those parties. Many couples dress in coordinated, themed costumes, and others just pick something and have some fun. ‘Back in my day’ we had plastic facemasks and simple outfits. I remember when punk, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna and Flash Dance were huge. I remember wearing bright colors, leg warmers, funky makeup and teased hair for a couple of Halloweens.

There will be arts and crafts, you can meet their resident reptiles, make seed bombs, participate in a Monarch migration game, explore the hackberry trail, and there will be plenty of birds and butterflies to be found. The event is held at this time each year because it is peak butterfly season. You can see as many as 60 species in one day during migration – and sometimes catch some rarities. Attendees of this event typically hail from at least half of the 50 states and multiple countries. They converge at the National Butterfly Center in the Rio Grande Valley to experience one of the most biologically diverse areas in North America. Go see for yourself why this region has earned worldwide recognition for its outstanding butterfly and birding spots, inviting thousands of visitors each year to discover its remarkable assortment of preserves, refuges, nature parks, trails, and more. Whether you are an accomplished naturalist or an enthusiastic beginner, the Texas Butterfly Festival is the place to be. Here, many eyes make for exciting discoveries, including US records, super rarities, subtropical strays, seldom-seen species, ‘life’ and chase butterfliers that may only be found in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where the river winds its way toward the Laguna Madre at the Gulf of Mexico. This unique region encompasses no fewer than 11 different types of habitats, from tidal wetlands to riparian forest, brushland scrub to prairie savanna, and is home to more than 1,200 different species of plants, 500 species of birds, 200 vertebrate species, roughly 300 species of butterflies, and over 90 species of dragonflies. Nearly 150 species of North American butterflies can be seen only in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV), or by traveling to Mexico. More than 300 species of butterflies may be found in the LRGV, and more than 240 species have been seen at the National Butterfly Center, including rarities and US records. More information can be found at the website www.texasbutterflyfestival.com. The National Butterfly Cetner is located at 3333 Butterfly Park Dr. Or you can call (956) 5835400.

The evening will also feature guest pianist Asiya Korepanova as soloist. The concert opens with Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, a powerful brass and percussion work originally composed in 1942. Known for its bold, ceremonial character, the piece offers a fitting opening to the orchestra’s anniversary season. Guest pianist Asiya Korepanova will then join the VSO for SaintSaëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2 in G Minor, Op. 22. The concerto is celebrated for its technical demands and contrasting musical styles, moving from a dramatic opening to an energetic finale. The evening concludes with Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess: Symphonic Picture, an orchestral arrangement of music from the composer’s landmark opera. Blending classical traditions with elements of jazz, blues, and American popular music, the work brings the concert to a colorful close. Music of the Greats is the first of five Masterworks concerts planned for the VSO’s 75th Anniversary Season. The season continues with A Touch of Frost on December 4; ¡Cumbanchera Sinfónica! on February 5, 2027; Voices of Courage on March 12, 2027; and Spartacus Adventurous on April 16, 2027. As the VSO marks this historic milestone, the orchestra invites audiences across the Rio Grande Valley to celebrate its musical legacy and the beginning of a new chapter. Tickets are available only through Ticketmaster. For more information about this concert, their season, and how to purchase tickets, visit their website at www.valleysymphony. org/.

Some families today really go all out as I have seen at church and community Trunk or Treats. Families will do huge, themed costumes of comic book or cartoon characters. I have seen book characters such as Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. Then there are video game characters as well. It’s no longer all about being spooky, but more about having fun, showing some personality, and sharing your interests with others with what some kids choose to dress as today. Then, there are the home decorations that have changed up quite a bit. I don’t remember seeing a whole lot of homes decorated for Halloween when I was younger. But today, you can’t go through a neighborhood without seeing some sort of Halloween décor – gravestones, skeletons, spiders, etc. I think it’s all fun, but I can’t imagine storing all of those things. Christmas is enough for me. I have some small Halloween decorations I might put out, but I love my fall décor that usually comes out in mid-October and stays out until just after Thanksgiving when we start putting our Christmas stuff out. How do you celebrate Halloween? What do you enjoy about Halloween? Do you have fun and decorate or dress up for your park’s Halloween party? If you do, I want to see some photos. We would love to be able to include some of your holiday photos in our next edition of the Winter Texan Times. Just send your items to news@wintertexantimes.com.

Winter Texan TIMES Serving Winter Texans From Mission To South Padre Island Since 1987 Vol. 39, No. 22 © 2026 www.wintertexantimes.com Wednesday, March 25, 2026 By Barb Zanetti Photos by Dennis Zanetti Joining forces with others, Elaine Snyder helped Alamo Palms Resort and its Classy Quilter group become one of the top in the Valley – one quilter at a time. Many say it’s her welcoming efforts and those of other experienced quilters that are responsible for more than tripling the number of park quilters to 65. Elaine believes the projects the park’s experienced quilters choose and the way they teach it makes all the difference. “I like offering classes for beginners to experts,” Elaine says about the 10 different one’s seasoned quilters led this year. She says if she teaches them to make a special block, the quilters have choices of how and what they’d like to do with them such as creating a starter project like a wall hanging or a table runner. However, the key to getting and keeping so many new quilters interested is that Elaine never wants them to feel alone or that they’re “not good enough.” She insists that INDEX Coupon Index p 3 Events Calendar p 9 Reunions p 9 Parks Calendar p 10 WintertainersTM p 11 Business Guide p 16 Classifieds p 21 Taste of the Valley p 23 As it is with every season, it eventually must come to an end – and we hate to see it end, but we know we have next season to look forward to.

After 55 years of maintaining and attempting to breed this inquisitive, athletic crocodilian, the first Cuban crocodile to hatch at the Gladys Porter Zoo has proven it was worth the wait! “This hatching represents years of trial and error that culminated into a significant moment for the Gladys Porter Zoo and for the conservation of this species,” said Clint Guadiana, Curator of Herpetology. “Successfully breeding and hatching Cuban crocodiles requires patience, dedication, an in-depth understanding of the species’ social etiquette, and a little bit of ‘dating magic.’ We are incredibly proud of our animal care team and everyone involved in making this achievement possible.” Speckled in black and yellow, the hatchling may grow to only 11 feet in length. Despite its short, stocky stature, its species-specific form and abilities will make it a formidable hunter and protector. Adult Cuban crocodiles are uniquely terrestrial and have reduced webbing on their back feet. This feature aids their ability to gallop on land at speeds approaching 22mph. They are also known to jump 6 feet off the ground or out of the water, an adaptation that allows them to capture prey items from low-hanging trees. Cuban crocodiles are one of the most critically endangered crocodilian species worldwide. Once found throughout much of the Caribbean, the species’ entire range is limited to approximately 116 square miles within the southwestern region of Cuba’s Zapata Swamp. Their continued existence is threatened by illegal hunting, habitat modification, and hybridization with another crocodile species, the American crocodile. In 2022, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) designated Cuban crocodiles a Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE) program. The newly hatched Cuban crocodile is currently being cared for behind the scenes and is reported to be doing well. He has been affectionately named “Toby” after renowned Cuban crocodile researcher, Dr. Roberto “Toby” Ramos-Targarona, who dedicated his life to the conservation and preservation of this species and many others. “The Herpetology team and I are extremely proud and excited by this baby Cuban crocodile,” says Senior Herpetology Keeper, Francisco Llauger. “He is already feisty and eager to devour anything we offer him. He will remain with us for a couple of years while we work with the SAFE program leader to determine how he can best contribute to his species’ conservation and survival.” It has been a very successful year for the Herpetology team. In addition to the Cuban crocodile, staff have also successfully hatched other endangered species, such as Philippine crocodiles, Mangshan pit vipers, psychedelic rock geckos and Orinoco crocodiles. The Gladys Porter Zoo has a long history of breeding and caring for endangered species and remains committed to its mission of preserving nature through conservation and education. These historic hatchings are the latest examples of the Zoo’s ongoing efforts to protect vulnerable wildlife and inspire future generations to care about the natural world.

They are Christmas in Texas, American Quilt Study Group Presents: Quiltmakers and Designers 1945-1979, and Tobacco Silks Reimagined. They will be on display through December 19. In Gallery I, Christmas in Texas (sponsored by Quilts, Inc.) presents 23 quilts with a holiday color theme of red and green from the extensive International Quilt Festival Collection. Many of these handmade works from the 1850s-1920s were featured in the 2016 book and previous exhibit Christmas Quilts, Christmas Memories. The collection is of special importance to Texas Quilt Museum co-founders Karey Bresenhan and Nancy O’Bryant Puentes. “Our mothers made Christmas magic. That’s what we remember most. Like most women of their day, they were the tradition keepers, the artful wrappers, the perfect present buyers, and Christmas card senders. . .not to mention holiday chefs!” the pair recall. “We often think of all the work, and all the love, that went into the holidays for our mothers, and marvel at what they did to make Christmas the most magical time of the year, creating so many special memories for us and our entire family.” Museum Curator Vicki Mangum adds “The Collection holds a myriad of quilts often used to celebrate Christmas here in Texas. The selection on display here has several of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!” Gallery II will showcase 25 pieces in American Quilt Study Group Presents: Quiltmakers and Designers 1945-1979 (partially sponsored by Reynolds & Associates, PLLC). Every other year, AQSG selects a specific design, style, or time period as the study theme. Participants are challenged to select an existing quilt that fits the quilt study guidelines and creates a smaller replica, interpreting the elements of the original quilt in a new and fresh way. The replica quilts are displayed here. “I remember well the quilts my grandmother Coody and family made during this time frame,” Mangum says. “The AQSG is famous for their studies, their accuracy, and connection in our lives. This exhibit is exceptional. I believe most current quilters will enjoy revisiting this era of quilting.” Finally, Gallery III will feature Tobacco Silks Reimagined (sponsored by Frank Klein & the Lucille Gaebler Klein Fund). These 33 pieces by Greta Mikkelsen stem from her fascination with the silks, themselves unique relics from the turn of the 20th century when tobacco companies began earnestly marketing their products to entice new users and create brand loyalty amongst customers. Collectible silk inserts were printed using state-of-the-art chromolithography, which reproduced the illustrations and photographs in See QUILT MUSEUM pg. 16 Types of Dances (50.25” x 51.25”) by Greta Mikkelsen (Gallery III).

The chapter is asking the community to donate new or gently used books to help stock the libraries before they are installed across the college district. Donations of fiction, nonfiction, biographies and children’s books are welcome. Books can be dropped off at any counseling department office across STC’s campuses. Celina Jorge, PTK advisor and psychological science faculty member, said the project grew out of the chapter’s Honors in Action research, which explored how communities can help build a better future by addressing barriers to literacy. “Through our research, we learned that access to books remains a challenge for many individuals and families,” Jorge said. “We wanted to create a project that would have a lasting impact by placing free books directly into the hands of community members through Little Free Libraries across our service area, with one at each campus.” Jorge said access to reading materials can support educational achievement, workforce development and personal growth by helping individuals build knowledge, strengthen critical thinking skills and explore new perspectives. For Francis Rosales, PTK president of the Beta Epsilon Mu chapter, the initiative reflects the impact students can make when they turn research into meaningful community service. “As president of our PTK chapter, this project means a lot to me because it shows how small actions can contribute to a better future,” Rosales said. “I believe education can open doors and create opportunities, and being able to encourage reading and learning through this initiative is one way we can make a lasting difference.” The chapter hopes the project will make books easier to access while encouraging community members to share resources and develop a lasting love of reading. Community members are encouraged to contribute to the drive and help bring “Jags Read” to life. Each donation will help stock the new libraries and create more opportunities for students, children and families to connect through books. For more information or to donate, visit any South Texas College Counseling Department office or call (956) 872-6440.
