The Valley weather has surely been testing us. This week it’s gonna be a warm one. And then, it’s gonna cool down a little this weekend. Good news is, it will still be golf weather, or nice enough to get outside and enjoy a trail or two or have a great time out at the Winter Texan Fiesta on Friday – that’s where we will be!
Lots of end of season events are taking place this month – events that we know you all enjoy – not only in your parks, but also throughout the Valley, and Progreso. You will see that the livestock show is taking place. Make sure you take advantage of their Senior Citizen Day for a discounted price and music by Chris Marshall, and others. There is also BorderFest coming up that’s always fun to see the culture and diversity there. Don’t forget Progreso puts on a big thank you party for you too.
Also, don’t forget to show us what you have been doing this season. We love hearing about your adventures, seeing photos of your fun – share them with us.
We have our Take Home edition next week that would be great to share some of your photos and stories in. It’s the issue we brag about your adventures and what you enjoy about the Valley. It’s the chance to get your photo in the paper and then take back home to show your friends what it’s all about.
You can send your items to me at news@wintertexantimes.com.
I look forward to hearing from you!
