hello FROM KRISTI
•••
I had a meeting in San Antonio
last week, and I can’t tell you how happy I was to see so many of our “early birds” on the road heading south! We saw plates from across the Midwest--and even a few from Ontario. Every year, it seems the season starts a little earlier than the year before, and you’ll find that none of us locals are complaining! We are excited about this season, the return of our Winter Texan friends, and the opportunity to meet those of you who are first timers in South Texas. Each week, we look forward to publishing this newspaper, packed with events, entertainment, and more to keep you as busy as you want to be! All the information you will find in the pages that follow have been collected from RV resorts and community organizations from across the Rio Grande Valley, and we encourage you to get out there and explore our wonderful Valley. All the events and activities can also be found on our mobile app, which is handy because the app will give you directions, too! Whether you are a first timer or a seasoned Winter Texan, we’re glad you’re here and look forward to keeping you informed and entertained this winter! ~We’re just connecting the dots. •
