On October 19, Mission Bell-Tradewinds had a successful cancer fundraiser. They raised nearly $7,000 to help residents that are battling cancer. The money is being used to help with medical expenses, travel expenses, and other related expenses by several residents in the park. The park held a dance, silent auction, had T-shirt sales, a 50/50, food sales, and more. Leslie Blasing donated her time and talent to the event and Ron Moshier even stopped by and did dollar dances to pitch in to the fundraising.
Mission Bell Tradewinds RV and MH Resort will be holding a Cancer Benefit Dance with Leslie Blasing on Saturday, October 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Mission Bell Hall. The event will feature a silent auction, 50/50 raffle and food will be available for purchase.

The residents at Trophy Gardens recently put on an expo showcasing the many arts and crafts they have completed during the season. Residents showcased their wood projects, paintings, diamond art, quilting and knitting projects, card making skills, China paintings, stained glass, and so much more. These projects are mostly completed at the park, but some residents work on their projects year-round.
During a recent Hands and Feet meeting, Winter Texans and other First United Methodist Church (McAllen) family members made Easter baskets for Estrella’s House (Children’s Advocacy Center of Hidalgo and Starr Counties). This has become an annual tradition for the church and is always a lot of fun.
An 8 Ball Tournament was held at Pleasant Valley Resort, organized by Claude Lemay and Denise Eaton on March 11, 2024. From left to right are Claude Lemay, organizer; Louis H. Therrien, 4th place $75; Denis Gaudet, 3rd place $100; Yvon Carpentier, 1st place $300; Stew McCrue, 2nd place $150; Real Morin, 5th place $50; and Richard Stader, 6th place $50.
St. Patrick's Day was celebrated a day earlier on Saturday with the annual parade at Royal Palms MH Park in Alamo. Leading the parade were the king and queen, Tim Fischer and Carrol Moering.
Winter Texans have places throughout the Valley they can visit. There are sites to see, things to do, parks to visit, and more. There is a wide range of places to go and things to do from Rio Grande City all the way down to South Padre Island.
The Rio Grande Valley's Winter Texan scene isn't the quiet, gem in the rough secret that it once was.
