Wendy B. Lara of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, has performed as a Catrina for the past seven years. Lara was one of seven Catrinas to perform at Fiesta de Palmas, representing the pre-Hispanic feathered serpent deity Quetzalcoatl.

Business Development Lara’s goal as a Catrina is to educate. “When I do my performances as Catrina, I want people to know more about our culture,” she said. Her teaching tools: detailed makeup; elaborate costumes (sometimes on stilts); and passionate, expressive monologues.

de los Muertos. The altars also honor and commemorate those who have passed on. “McAllen International Airport’s temporary Ofrenda exhibit takes inspiration from the popular Mexican tradition,” shares Daniella Plata, international business manager for the airport, “mixed with the essence of the Rio Grande Valley, aiming to highlight the distinctiveness of McAllen’s cultural blend.”

Lara performed one of her monologues at the recent unveiling of McAllen International Airport’s Dia de los Muertos Ofrenda (altar) exhibit. The vibrant display consists of marigolds--symbolic for their bright orange color, thought to attract passed souls—and a sand painting, also known as Tapete de Arena, that serves as a mat, welcoming the dead to the altar. The sand painting, titled “Evolution of the Catrina,” was created by Collective Mexico en las Arts of Oaxaca, Mexico. It commemorates the fifth anniversary of the airport’s Ofrenda exhibit. Ofrendas are traditionally adorned with things associated with the person who has passed—such as food, trinkets, and music--in hopes of enticing them to return during Dia

This holiday is also a reminder of lives being lived. “Day of the Dead, for me,” says Lara, “is a reminder that, one day, I will also die. But instead of scaring me, the topic of death reminds me that we must live each day intensely, as if it were our last.”•

Another Year, Another House Special to Welcome Hone Winter Texan

Boy, that was fun!

Have y’all heard of Habitat for Humanity’s annual fundraiser, Mighty Homes of Hope? The Lamb’s Loom has now participated in this community event for the last three years (This is our fourth!), and everyone has had a blast. Mighty Homes of Hope works like this: When you sign up, they provide every participant with a little house (like a small bird house). Then you get your creative juices going and, POOF, you decorate your house! Get out your glue guns, paint, popsicle sticks, and you name it, and get to work. It has been a real joy working on our houses for four years. Everyone at The Lamb’s Loom gets involved, from coming up with a theme to putting the last bit of yarn on. Every year our theme for our home has centered around Habitat and its mission--to help deserving families here in the Rio Grande Valley improve or build a place they can call home.

Our Mighty Home is finished for this year and has been submitted for judging. This year’s theme for our home is The HEARTh of Habitat is Love. Our prayer is that the love of our community will continue to grow to serve the housing needs of South Texas. After all the participants turn

in their homes, they are auctioned off to the public, so all of the groups and organizations that participate are contributing, and the public gets to join in and help out, too. It’s a win-win for everyone in our community! The Mighty Home online auction

runs from November 14 – 29. You can view all of the entries in person while they are on display at North Park Lexus Rio Grande Valley in San Juan from October 24 - November 29. Habitat for Humanity does such wonderful work here in the Rio Grande Valley. We have been blessed to see this effort grow and are excited to see it continue. So mark your calendar for next year, and you will get to gluing, too. For now, we’ve put the glue gun down and are knitting and crocheting away in our Sit-n-Knit Room to fill our Donation Chest. Come join The Lamb’s Loom fun in person at 1102 Tamarack in McAllen. We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Additional parking is available in the rear via Upas Avenue. Updates and other information are available on our website at thelambsloom.com L e t ’s c o n t i n u e t o # s t i t c h i t forward together. We’re putting #loveineverystitch. •

Bennie & the Jets to Perform in Harlingen November 14

Special to Welcome Hone Winter Texan

Greg Ransom is bringing his hit Elton

John tribute show, Bennie & the Jets, to Christian Fellowship Church, 901 N. Loop 499 in Harlingen, Tuesday, November 14, at 7:30 p.m.

“Ransom’s voice, piano-playing and stage demeanor are eerily similar to Elton John’s,” wrote Graham Dixon (Midland Reporter Telegram). Ransom began playing the piano

at the age of 10 and has been playing music and performing ever since. In 1995, Ransom (piano, vocals), Dan Moraski (guitar, vocals), Bob Lija (drums, vocals), and Ken Walpurgis (bass) formed Bennie & the Jets, a group dedicated to honoring the life and music of the great Elton John. The international touring act has stunned Elton fans all around the world with their note-for-note covers of his iconic songs and Ransom’s voice, which bears an eerie resemblance to Elton John’s. Their concert features a collection of Elton John’s biggest hits, including, but not limited to, “Tiny Dancer,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Rocket Man,” and, of course, “Bennie.” For ticket information, visit the association’s website at HarlingenCon-

cert.com or call 956-392-9757. The Harlingen Concert Association has been presenting internationally acclaimed artists to the community since the 1930s. This all-volunteer, nonprofit organization is committed to enriching the cultural life of the Harlingen area through live performances. Thanks to loyal season ticket-holders and sponsors, these concerts can be offered at affordable, family-friendly prices. •
