While we have been gearing up for the Valley Star Awards, we have also been busy trying to get out to some events. 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 having it again – and a biscuit and gravy too.

We are looking forward to a great show in a couple of weeks. Be sure to cast your vote and buy your tickets now.

As always, if you have any questions, want to send me a story, some photos, let me know what is going on at your park, send those my way at news@wintertexantimes.com.
