A
very special thank you to all of you who attended the Winter Texan Expo January 19 and 20! In case you didn’t know, this year was the 23rd annual event. But this year was special in that Welcome Home RGV purchased Expo in 2015, so this year’s event was under our direction and management. Thank you for your feedback! From the wide variety of vendors to the topnotch entertainment, our sponsors, and our amazing crew of staff and volunteers, we feel certain we brought you the best event yet! Despite the beautiful weather, we had roughly 7,500 attendees inside the McAllen Convention Center during this two-day event! At Welcome Home RGV, we love what we do, and we are honored to continue the tradition of providing you with an event you’ve been so supportive of for the past 23 years. We look forward to serving you for many years to come! We have a lot in store for you for the 24th annual event, so save the dates. The 2017 event will be held January 17 and 18 at the McAllen Convention Center, and trust me--you will want to be there!? • We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi
