11th Annual Valley Star Awards was one to remember
Long-time favorites, soon-to-be favorites and an extremely wide variety of Wintertainers made the 11th annual Valley Star Awards at Mission Bell RV Park one that raised the bar for future events. If you didn’t get the chance to attend and see the entertainment – Johnathan Len, Justin Terry, Mountain Highway, Ron and Jan Easter, Rebecca and Jaime Bagwell, and Curt James – you should make a point to catch them somewhere. In the end, Helen Russell & Company (“I’m, ‘And Company’,” her husband of 39 years, Elvis, said jokingly) were the big winners.

Winter Texan Ambassadors Wanted
If you love coming down to the Rio Grande Valley each winter, you’re invited to become a Winter Texan Ambassador. The job is simple: share with your friends all the good times you have in the Valley each winter – away from the snow and ice. In a place where you can play golf almost any winter day. In a place where your MH & RV resort is a community of its own with lots of friends to share in a whole array of fun activities. See AMBASSADORS pg. 33 INDEX

Traffic increasing at all Valley golf courses
For what seems like an eternity, the COVID-19 pandemic has waged war around the world. For golf courses it was especially difficult. One week they were open, one week they were closed and the not-knowing-what’s-happening tomorrow, or later today, wreaked havoc. However, it also gave directors of golf, owners, golf pros and those who make decisions an opportunity to make some tweaks to their courses – minor to major. Golfers definitely have shown appreciation as rounds have steadily increased over the past 10-12 months and are forecasted to continue rising. South Padre Island Golf Club See GOLF pg. 15
