Richard Lynch performing in RGV

Country musician Richard Lynch and his band and will be performing in the Rio Grande Valley this season. Lynch, who lives in Waynesville, Ohio, is a designer and builder of barns when he is not working on his farm or playing music. But in spite of farming and barn building, he and his band find time to write and perform a number of chart-topping hits, giving countless performances each year. In addition to classic country he and the band also play western swing, rock-a-billy and outlaw country music. Lynch got his love of music from his father, Woody, who taught him to pick and to appreciate the traditional value of country music. His first album, “Last of a Dying Breed,” had nine singles that charted internationally. His second album, “A Better Place,” received rave reviews around the world. After his song, “A Better Place” spent 32 weeks at number one on the Roots Music Report’s True Country Songs chart, the song was named the #1 Roots Music Report True Country Song for 2016. During his 30-year career, Lynch has been named to the Independent Country Music Hall of Fame. Those who love traditional country music will not want to not miss the Richard Lynch Band. They can be seen Jan.

Researcher has formula for reversing decline in Winter Texan population

By Henry Miller Though a study shows the Winter Texan population is dwindling in South Texas some park are seeing growth they haven’t seen in nearly a decade. And a researcher said finding the right combination of activities and better marketing is a key to attracting more retirees to the region. “If we are going to maintain the industry we have to attract the new Winter Texans,” said Dr. Penny Simpson, marketing professor and director of the Business and Tourism Research Center at UTRGV. Every two years the center produces a study that looks at trends in the South Texas Winter Texan population. The overall population has been declining since 2009 according to recent reports. Simpson said to reverse the trend parks need to recognize that with a new generation of Winter Texans comes a new set of preferences. “It’s important to know what the people want and to offer those activities or programs to these newcomers,” she said. “The image probably of RV parks is with shuffleboard and rocking chairs but baby boomers don’t necessarily want those things. I’m 75 and my preference is sitting on a chair and visiting friends, that doesn’t mean the 60-year-old wants that.” One property that seems to have found the right combination is Llano Grande Resort and Country Club in Mercedes, which has a waiting list of people who want residency in the 1,160-site property. It’s the first time in eight years the park has been in this situation — a good problem to have, said Activities Director Linda Anklam.

She said that waiting list didn’t come by chance, however. Meetings took place where new ideas were tossed about, a new 1,100-seat Hynes Event Center was built and there was plenty of marketing and advertising focused on recruiting Winter Texans. “We have so much going on here to attract new residents,” Anklam said. “The baby boomers like more rock and roll and we are bringing in more shows like that. They are more active and play tennis and pickleball and we have that. The younger Winter Texans are still moving fast and they want different activities.” The Hynes Event Center is an attraction both for residents and the local community. The Oak Ridge Boys just completed a four-day show there and other shows planned include a Beatles tribut band, and Eagles tribute band and the Bellamy Brothers. Remote control racing has become popular at several South Texas resort and RV parks. Alamo Rec-Veh Park currently has two tracks completed and is constructing a carpet track for its RC owners. The park also attracts visitors on a regular basis who want to check out drone racing, RC speedboat and sailboat racing, fishing in the seven-acre lake or take a look at the park’s indoor shooting range with targets 10 meters way and .177-caliber rifles. During a recent Red, White & Blue RC League race — which includes Alamo Palms and Victoria Palms resorts — a group from See WINTER TEXANS pg. 36

Tejas RC Fun Fly Air Show draws large crowds

By Henry Miller The Tejas Radio Control Model Aircraft Association held its annual Fun Fly on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 21-22, at the Tejas Club flying field, located on Stewart Road south of San Juan. More than 120 airplanes, helicopters and quads took to the air over the weekend and 400600 people attended the event, according to official estimates. The association holds two fun flies per year, with the other one coming during the summer and known as the “Hotter Than Hell Fly.” “It’s pretty accurate,” Charlie Yow said, regarding the name. “It’s usually 104 degrees or something like that.” Yow was the contest director for the show this past weekend and is in his third year as the Tejas RC Association president. The bigger event is the January one, which attracts many Winter Texans. Yow said there were about 45 members signed up for the event, which doesn’t charge for admission. The club raises money through selling food and raffle tickets. This year, Yow said, the club made about $2,000 from the event. “The Winter Texans have had long careers; they’ve retired and many of them have had a career in aviation. They are retired pilots or have belonged to the aviation field somehow,” Yow said. “Most of them have the older aircraft and aren’t really into the drones or the newer equipment. But they know how to fly their craft because it’s been a part of their life for so long. There are some baby boomers, however, who get into the photography with quads and will try anything.” Yow and Phil Johnson wowed the crowd with their “Phil and Charlie Show,” each taking one of their model helicopters – with rotors that are 1.2 meters in diameter – and streaking them along the sky. Yow said it’s not uncommon to see the copters reach 200 miles per hour, especially when a professional helicopter pilot

is at the controls. “You’re really not flying them,” Yow said. “You’re just preventing them from crashing the entire time. It does exactly what you want them to do. If you want to control it to go straight into the ground, it doesn’t have a problem to do that. Watch the professional pilot fly one of those – it’s amazing. It can scare people.” Yow is a mechanical engineer by trade and at one point looked to become an aeronautical engineer. His interest in remote control planes goes back to his preteen years. “I was 12 when I built my first plane,” said Yow, now 45. “It used to take us eight months sometimes to build a plane. Things have changed a lot since then.” Now, most of the planes are known as ARFs, Almost Ready to Fly. The body is ready, all it needs is the engine and a few other components and it’s ready to go. Rick Michelena is the founding member of the Tejas RC Association, which began in January 1986. Tejas is the old Indian word meaning friendship, Michelena said. Michelena is a huge fan of World War II aircraft and has 22 model planes in his maintenance shop. His largest plane, an F-7 Tiger Cat, has a 10-foot wingspan, weights about 55 pounds and is powered by two 77cc gas engines. “That’s like a motorcycle’s engine,” he said. After Michelena, a former United Airlines pilot, spent Sunday morning in his maintenance office, looking for a leak in one of his radio-controlled model airplanes, he said, “I could hear it, but I just needed to find it. It helps to be somewhat of a repairman if you’re going to do this hobby.” For more information about the Tejas RC Model Aircraft Association contact Dick Ware at (937) 423-0236, or e-mail warerv@aol.com.

JANUARY 26, 2017 I WINTER TEXAN TIMES Attention Back Pain and Sciatica Sufferers! Back By Request…

Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop Reveals How to Naturally Heal Back Pain and Sciatica For Good. Do you suffer with back pain or leg pain when you stand or walk? Do you have pain when you sit for long periods or drive? Do you experience pain, numbness or tingling into your butt, groin or down your leg? Does your back ever “go out” if you move the wrong way? Are you afraid your pain will get worse if you don’t do anything about it? If you have answered YES to any of the above questions (or have a stubborn spouse who is in denial) – the Lower Back and Sciatica Workshop may be a life changing event for you… “Amy and Frank did an outstanding job on my right leg and lower back, I feel so good that I can now put on my socks on my own and enjoy my time with my family.” - Reyes Garcia “Lately I am not paying a cleaning lady because I can do it myself!”- Roberta Barriere II “Now I can sleep the night through without pain.”- Marilyn Eisenmenger Hello, Back pain and sciatica can completely ruin your life. I’ve seen it many times. • It can make you lean on the shopping cart when walking through the grocery store (how embarrassing)… • It can take your focus away on enjoying your life…like spending time with your children or grandchildren… • It can mess up your work or force you to do a job you don’t want to do… • It can ruin your travel plans… • And it can take away your ability to live life…having to rely on others…or to wait for you to sit down for a minute. And less movement and enjoying of life can lead to depression, increased stress and a sedentary lifestyle (mostly sitting…not moving much) which leads to bigger health problems…and life problems. Here at Pure Physical Therapy, the Sciatica and Lower Back Specialists have helped 100’s of people from right here in McAllen, and the rest of Hidalgo County who have suffered needlessly with lower back pain and sciatica. It’s our SPECIALTY. By request, I’m hosting a Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Workshop here at Pure Physical Therapy in McAllen Saturday, February 11, 2017 from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. Register now at: Link: purept.ptworkshops.com/workshop?source=wtt If you’re confused about what to do and looking for answers, here’s some of what you’ll learn: • The Single Biggest #1 Mistake back pain and sciatica sufferers make which actually stops them from healing… • The 3 Most Common Causes of Lower Back Pain and Sciatica… • A Sure-Fire Way to Pick the Right Treatment for the Cause of Your Pain (and save you a ton of time and money) • How a problem in your back can cause pain, numbness or tingling in your leg… • What successful treatment and permanent relief looks like without the side effects of medications, injections or surgery. How Do I Register for the Lower Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop? Call our office to register at (956) 994-8880. When you register, we will mail you The Lower Back Pain and Sciatica Worksheet which you will bring with you to the event.

Winter Texans to vote for Entertainers of the Year

Winter Texans are asked to vote for their favorite entertainers who perform in the Winter Texan parks and resorts in the Rio Grande Valley. Each year, the Winter Texan Times conducts a poll of Winter Texans, allowing them to vote for their favorite entertainers to decide who will receive top awards at the Valley Star Awards Show, which is hosted by Robert and Billie Ferguson. A ballot listing the nominees for Entertainer or Group of the Year overall, Male Vocalist of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and eight other awards appears on page 22 of today’s edition of the Winter Texan Times. The other award categories include Gospel Group of the Year, Musical Group of the Year (not related), Family Vocal Group of the Year, Duet Musical Group of the Year, Rock n Roll Band of the Year, Country Western Band of the Year, Individual/Small Band/Variety Act of the Year, and Novelty or Comedy Act of the Year. Those who fill out a ballot this year are asked to vote for someone in every category, if you are familiar with the nominees. In the past, some ballots have come in with only one category marked. Also, be sure to write in your choice for Entertainer or Group of the Year. This can be

any of the individuals or groups on the ballot, from any category. This year, this award is open to groups as well as individual entertainers. The Valley Star Awards are designed to honor the top entertainers and groups who are performing in the Rio Grande Valley this year, said Robert Ferguson. Entertainers who are not coming to the Valley this year are not eligible. The Fergusons compiled a comprehensive list of all of this year’s Winter Texan entertainers and the park activity directors voted to determine this year’s top four nominees in each category. Only the top four nominees appear on the ballot. To vote for your favorite Valley entertainers, fill out the ballot in today’s paper and mail it to 1217 N. Conway, Mission TX 78572, or, vote online at www.wttrgv. com. Only one vote per person is allowed. Ballots must be received by Feb. 14, 2017 to be counted. You can also email us at survey@wintertexantimes.com to request a ballot, which you can complete and email, mail or fax back to us. Our fax number is 956-585-2304. Do not send us more than one ballot per person. The Valley Star Awards Show will be held, Saturday, Feb. 18 at 6 p.m. at Mission Bell Resort, 1711 E. Bus. 83, Mission.

The award show has a great lineup of entertainment including Bill Chrastil, Mario, Sherwin and Pam Linton, Leslie Blasing, Susan Hudson and the Edinburg Folkloric Dancers. Tickets to the Valley

MMA to hold Iwo Jima Parade Feb. 18

The Marine Military Academy in Harlingen will hold its annual Iwo Jima Parade Saturday, Feb. 18 at 10 a.m. on the MMA Parade Ground. This year marks the 72nd anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. Open to the public, this event is a tribute to the courage and sacrifice made by The Greatest Generation to preserve freedom around the world. Because of the subtropical climate of South Texas, MMA is the only organization in the country that holds a battalion-size parade on the actual anniversary (Feb. 19, 1945) of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Last year, more than 350 people attended this event. There will be special reserved seating for Iwo Jima survivors in front of the parade stand, which directly faces the historic Iwo Jima Monument.

rade, the Iwo Jima survivors will join the MMA superintendent for the ceremonial pass in review. Event-goers are encouraged to stop by the Iwo Jima Museum & Gift Shop after the parade to watch a video depicting the Battle of Iwo Jima. They are also encouraged to view the Iwo Jima Monument and the gravesite of Cpl. Harlon Block before or after the parade. Since April 1982, MMA has been home to the Iwo Jima Monument. The magnificent statue depicts six Marines raising the American flag on Feb. 23, 1945, during the Battle of Iwo Jima. Block, the Marine depicted at the base of the flagstaff, was a native of Weslaco, Texas. For more information on the Iwo Jima Parade, call (956) 421-9225 or e-mail atkinson@MMA-TX.org.

From traditional Italian dishes – like lasagna, ravioli, or spaghetti with meatballs – to grilled lamb chops, Romano’s Macaroni Grill offers a wide variety of meals to enjoy. Served with a loaf of heavenly hot bread, a delicious meal at Macaroni Grill is a perfect way to enjoy a lunch break or a leisurely dinner. Their mouth-watering hot bread is baked with rosemary for that authentic Italian flavor and served with olive oil and spices, which some refer to as “Italian butter.” At Macaroni Grill you can enjoy a full-course meal, starting with your choice of antipasti appetizers, plus soups, salads, then a variety of entrees, including beef, chicken, pork, lamb,

pasta or pizza selections. Start with an appetizer such as the fried macaroni sticks consisting of a ball of macaroni, deep-fried and served with an asiago cheese sauce. Their Antipasti menu also includes, Spicy Ricotta Meatballs, Bruschetta, Baked Prosciutto & Mozzarella, Calamari Fritti, Goat Cheese Peppadew Peppers, Crispy Fresh Mozzarella, Fried Artichokes, Portobello Fries and Loaded Fries with prosciutto, Parmesan, mozzarella cheese sauce, gorgonzola and Calabrian peppers. For an entrée try a pasta such as the Shrimp Portofino, one of the favorites among patrons. The shrimp are served over a bed of angel hair pasta

with a butter sauce that is delicious. The Chicken Marsela is juicy and tender, cooked with mushrooms and garlic and served over a bed of pasta. For those avoiding pasta, try the other entrees such as grilled lamb chops served with a side of vegetables. Macaroni Grill offers traditional salads such as Caprese, Caesar, Parmesan-Crusted Chicken, Chicken Florentine, Bibb & Bleu and Steak & Greens. Or opt for one of their family-style vegetables such as the butternut squash with fig sauce, walnuts and feta cheese. “It tastes like Thanksgiving,” said the waitress. The servings are large enough for the entire family to sample. And when it comes to dessert, the Italians are wonderful. Try the Italian tiramisu or a chocolate cake. Delicious. Romano’s Macaroni Grill is located at 3500 W. Expressway 83 in McAllen. Phone 956-687-3500.

JANUARY 26, 2017 I WINTER TEXAN TIMES 33

VSO presents ‘Star Wars’ Pops Concert Take a trip to the stars (spacesuits optional) during the Valley Symphony Orchestra’s fourth concert of the 65th anniversary season. “Star Wars and Galactic Pops,” will be presented on Friday, Feb. 3, at the new McAllen Performing Arts Center at 8 p.m. “Star Wars and Galactic Pops” is a concert experience that music lovers will not want to miss. Fans of all ages are invited to participate in this far-out tribute to some of the classic sci-fi masterpieces. A nod to all things celestial, Music Director and Conductor, Peter Dabrowski, has chosen some exciting intergalactic pieces to transport the audience into the cosmos. Such pieces include “Also Sprach Zarathustra” with introduction by Richard Strauss. Most listeners today recognize Strauss’ piece by its famous opening prologue, which was immortalized in Stanley Kubrick’s classic film 2001 “A Space Odyssey.” Another great and familiar movie soundtrack, “Star Trek Through the Years” by Jerry Goldsmith will astound

the audience. Goldsmith’s music currently spans 13 feature films and six long-running television series in Hollywood, while adding to the enjoyment and dedication of millions of fans around the world. Composer, John Williams’ “Star Wars Suite” remains among the most highly recognizable and popular pieces of symphonic POPs in the world. The Valley Symphony Orchestra will transport our listeners to the yearning melody of Princess Leia, the relentless angularity of the Imperial March, and the bold fanfares of the main title theme that we so fondly recall from the full length feature films of yesterday and today. To wrap up the intensely mystifying musical adventure, the audience will hear the first and fourth movements of Gustav Holst’s orchestral masterpiece, “The Planets: Mars, the Bringer of War” and “Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity.” Holst loved to study ancient cultures and was fascinated by the idea that one’s personality could be determined by the influence of planetary alignment.

Prepare to be transported in this musical journey through space and time with “Star Wars and Galactic Pops.” This concert marks the first performance for the Valley Symphony Orchestra at the new 93,471 square-foot, state-of-the-art McAllen Performing Arts Center. Tickets begin at $35 for backhouse, $45 front house and $55 orchestra level. To purchase tickets go to www.ticketmaster.com, call 1-800-745-3000 or stop by the McAllen Convention Center box office located at 700 Convention Center Drive (off Exp. 83 and Ware Rd). They are open Monday thru Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The community is encouraged to take

advantage of the VSO Bundle Package deal available now through the Feb. 3 for the remaining three concerts of the season to be held at the McAllen Performing Arts Center at a 20 percent discount off the regular price. Visit www.ticketmaster.com for more details, pricing and availability while seats remain.  Doors to the venue will open at 7 p.m. The new McAllen Performing Arts Center is located at 801 Convention Center Blvd. (just north of Expw. 83 on Ware Rd). For more information on the Valley Symphony Orchestra or Maestro Peter Dabrowski, contact Vivian Vargas, Marketing Manager, at (956) 661-1615 or email vivian@valleyorchestra.org.

36 JANUARY 26, 2017 I WINTER TEXAN TIMES people, things will have to be done difWINTER TEXANS ferently.” From pg. 6

Kenwood Park in LaFeria stopped by to watch the races at Alamo Rec-Veh, said resident Dave Langseth. “One of the guys came up to me after and said he had six guys who were going to Hobbytown right after to by some race cars,” Langseth said. “That’s good for our park and the whole Valley.” Langseth added that the general manager at the park indicated it was about 90 percent full during a recent month. “We had another couple come to look at the gun range,” Langseth said. “When we turned on the lights they said ‘Oh, wow, we didn’t know this was available. We may have chosen this park if we had known.’” “We may have to add amenities and activities that will appeal to the new group,” said the UTRGV’s Simpson. “Maybe they are baby boomers and they don’t like Glenn Miller but the older ones do. You have to figure out how to accommodate both groups and how to make it happen.” While some parks are claiming a growth in numbers, others are stagnant or even shutting their doors, said Simpson. According to the last two Winter Texans reports done by Simpson, only about three percent of the survey respondents have been first-timers. “That means we are not getting new people here,” she said. “To attract new

Come and visit us at Baffin Bay and be prepared for a unique Gulf Coast eating experience! Winter Texans Welcomed!

Simpson suggested doing at least two things — be appealing and get the word out. It does no good to make changes for the new generation if the new generation never hears about those new activities and amenities, she said. “We have to get the word out from North Texas to Canada, it’s not enough to do it just here,” Simpson said. “I think the communities are making a lot of changes and there are a lot of things happening here to meet the needs of both the longtime Winter Texans and the new ones, but there needs to be more marketing and more spreading the word.” Simpson said she would be more than interested in helping create another survey to report what baby boomers are interested in, especially if it will help attract them to South Texas and put a stop to the declining population. “The baby boomer generation may settle for small,” Simpson said, referring to responses from the survey, “but they want nice.” Anklam said Llano Grande seems to have found a good equation — having a lot of dances, shows, activities and amenities. And at least one Alamo Rec-Veh Park resident likes the variety of activities available to him. “There’s a new generation of Winter Texans coming,” said Langseth. “There’s going to be a lot of change.”

David Church is reported to be the “most requested and most popular” artist. He has captured the hearts of millions, from baby boomers to college students. Church’s performances have taken him all over the world. He has performed as a headliner and on the same stage as many legends of country music and bluegrass such as Gene Watson, Loretta Lynn and Jeannie Sealy, just to name a few. He has a long list of awards and accolades from having original songs in the top 10 of major radio stations and networks, to having number one songs on independent charts. Both David and Terri Church will be featured in an upcoming book and documen-

The book will be released on Feb. 23 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com.

TEXAS CITRUS FIESTA From pg. 1

10 a.m., Saturday in downtown Mission at the Leo Peña La Placita Park across from H-E-B on Conway Ave near Business 83. There is a great lineup of bands including Whiskey D, the Blackbirds, Invazzion, and Buck N Crazy, along with a number of food vendors, arts and crafts and other attractions to make it worth a visit. The annual Citrus Youth Show will be located in a tent on the site so visitors can see the many varieties of citrus that the youth are exhibiting for the competition. After the judging is complete it will be possible to buy citrus used in the displays at discounted prices. The annual Vaquero Cook-off is also held in Rotary Park adjacent to the Leo Pena La Placita Park. This year there will be an all-girl cooking team so go out and see if they can outcook those cowboys over an open flame! They will be judged on pan de campo, beans, pork ribs, fajitas ad peach cobbler. Parade of Oranges At 3 p.m. the annual TCF Parade of Oranges will roll down Conway Avenue going south from Griffin Parkway (FM 495) to 4th Street. One of the most popular Valley parades, the Parade of Oranges will feature several floats decorated with citrus and other Valley grown agricultural products. These floats compete for prizes and honors in the Valley Products

category. Winter Texans have become an important part of the Fiesta and there are two float categories for the Winter Texan mobile home and RV parks: one for parks with more than 200 spaces and the other for parks with less than 200 spaces. Governor Francisco Cabeza de Vaca of Tamaulipas, Mexico will be Grand Marshal of the Parade and the new King Citrus (to be named Thursday night at the Coronation) will be Parade Marshal. There will be dignitaries from Mission and the surrounding communities that take part in the parade each year. Church groups, Boy Schools, dance schools, and other organizations will have floats in the parade. There will be marching high school and junior high bands participating with drill teams and ROTC units. The Citrus Fiesta duchesses will be riding in convertibles. Because the Parade of Oranges with its unique citrus floats is one of the most popular parades in the Rio Grande Valley, people will start seeking places to view the parade along the parade route by mid-morning. So, come early to find a good spot to watch the parade. While most people bring their own lawn chairs, there will be chairs and bleachers for rent for $5 in various locations. The bleachers near BBVA Compass Bank in the downtown area are reserved for vis-

iting dignitaries, but the youth group at Conway Avenue Baptist Church will be renting chairs at the beginning of the parade route on the corner of FM 495 and Conway. First come, first served. The Boy Scouts and others will have chairs for rent along Conway Ave. between 9th and 10th Street. Visitors can come early to rent their chairs, then return shortly before the parade begins. But plan to get to your seats before all the streets are closed; otherwise you will have difficulty getting to your desired location. All streets crossing Conway, from Griffin Parkway (FM 495) to 1st Street, will be closed at noon, except for the following major streets, which will be closed

at 2 p.m.: Kika de la Garza Loop, East Tom Landry, 6th Street, 4th Street and 1st Street. Vendors will be selling food and drinks from 12 p.m. along the parade route. Cotton candy and other treats will be available. Look for the famous Texas Citrus Fiesta top sirloin barbecue sandwiches, a tasty fiesta tradition that was started by the late Don Lester many years ago. The barbecue will be served from barbecue trailers being pulled by pickup trucks up and down Conway before the parade time. Bring your lawn chairs, sun shades and sun block and enjoy a great day at the parade on Saturday.

VIDEO CONTEST From pg. 1

Grande Valley. They are inviting Winter Texans to submit 45- to 60-second videos in their “Life in the Rio” video contest. The videos can be taken using a cell phone and emailed to South Texas Tourism. First prize for the winning video will be $200. Second and third place winners will receive a Happy Senior gift basket. The deadline for submissions is Feb. 22 at 5 p.m. The winners will be announced in the Winter Texan Times on March 17. Videos will be judged by the South Texas Tourism board. Participants can enter as many videos as they wish from different events or locations. Each video should identify the city and location they are filming and tell why the person creating the Valley loves the Rio Grande Valley. Winners will be notified by e-mail and will have 10 days to claim their prizes. Join in the fun and help South Texas Tourism convince friends and neighbors back home the Rio Grande Valley is the place to spend the winter. While the purpose of this video is to showcase the Rio Grande Valley, submissions may include clips of Winter Texans just having fun at park activities, on the golf course, or wherever you are. There are lots of opportunities to pull out those cell phones and shoot a short video for the contest. Here are a few ideas. Two good events to shoot this week are

MHM QUILT SHOW From pg. 1

the Texas Citrus Fiesta Fun Fair and the Parade of Oranges on Saturday in Mission. As an example, if you were shooting a short video of the Texas Citrus Fiesta, you could say something like this: “Here I am in sunny South Texas watching a fascinating parade while my neighbors back home are digging out of the snow.” Another option is the Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild Show at South Padre Island. But be sure to ask permission before filming any of the quilts. Those who travel to South Padre Island might want to take a shot or two of the beach or the birds along the coast and talk about how many birds winter here too. Not attending either event? Try a field trip to the zoo, go on a historical walk in Brownsville, or take some nice shots at the golf course. There are endless opportunities to make short videos of Winter Texans having fun. Videos cannot include any business logos. All Winter Texans over age 55 are eligible to win. By submitting a video you are authorizing South Texas Tourism to use your video for publicity purposes. Once the video is completed, email it to southtexastourism@ gmail.com. Submit entries with the name of person filming, physical address, email address and phone number. For more information go to SouthTexasTourism.com.
