hello F R O M K R IS T I
E
very anniversary is special, but when you get to double digits and beyond, the more impressive they are! This week’s cover story warmed my heart, seeing 40 years of fun at Country Sunshine in Weslaco! And I know they are not the only ones celebrating success. Paradise Park in McAllen is celebrating 50 years in 2022! I’d love to know when each resort was established and trace the history and learn the back story; that could be a great deal of fun. If only the walls of the rec halls could talk. Oh, the stories they could tell! Over the years, we’ve gained new resorts and lost a few, but the constant we see are the friendships and the fun at each and every one. This season, whether your resort is celebrating a milestone anniversary or not, I invite you to join the celebration and lift your glass to another great season! This marks the 14th anniversary of Welcome Home RGV, and we look forward to inviting all of you to our 15th anniversary celebration next year. We are already planning our big event, so stay tuned for more details! • We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi
