Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night

Good day to you all! As every week, I do hope you are having a great time here in south Texas. The Rio Grande Valley is a great place to be. I am sure you have found some hidden treasures while making your rounds throughout the Valley – at least I hope so.

Many people enjoy the hole in the wall restaurants, the little shops that dot the downtowns of many Valley cities, and the many parks throughout the Valley as well.

We don’t only have the state parks, refuges, and birding and nature centers, most cities have their very own parks that are fun to go to as well. Many cities also have great trails.

One such trail is the Caracara Trail. This is a 428-mile trail that connects downtown Brownsville to Port Isabel, Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, and cities like Harlingen and San Benito. It includes 230 miles of multiuse trails, 120 miles of bicycle routes, and 78 miles of paddling trails. So, there is a little bit of something for trail enthusiasts of all kinds.

You can find out more about the Caracara Trails on Facebook and Visit Brownsville Texas website.

Today is the Valley Star Awards, and that is where you will find us. We will be announcing the winners that were voted on by you, our readers.

Our Wintertainers™ do a lot while in the Valley. They work hard to entertain and keep you all happy. Many of them volunteer their time with their entertainment for local fundraisers too. And we know how much you go out and support them at the parks and other locales.

The awards show is a way to show our, and your, appreciation for the time they spend here.

I hope you come out and see who wins, especially the coveted Entertainer of the Year Award.

If I don’t see you there, have a good day, good afternoon, good evening and good night.
