By

WESLACO, TX – Because of impending inclement weather, the Parade committee has decided it is best for participants and volunteers to postpone the Mid Valley Lighted Christmas Parade until December 17th. 

Celebrate the holiday season in downtown Weslaco as it comes alive with lights and holiday magic during the annual Mid Valley Lighted Christmas Parade, sponsored by Dr. Sudarshan The Eye Experts, on Thursday, December 17th. The parade will begin at 6 p.m. along Texas Blvd. between Pike Blvd. and 6th Street. This year’s theme is “A Rock Band Christmas”.

The parade line-up will include antique cars, marching bands, dancers, school groups, equestrians, and a special appearance by Santa Claus, making it an unforgettable experience! Bring your lawn chairs and arrive early for a great spot!  KWES television, WISD video services, will be taping the parade for air later with Weslaco’s own KRGV Channel 5 News’ Dina Herrera Garza and Jonathon Owen as the official emcees of the event.

Each year the Christmas Parade Committee chooses a Parade Marshal in honor of their service to the city of Weslaco. This year’s honoree is Howdy Smith for his accomplishments and dedication to city and civic responsibilities to our community.

The parade will be followed by Winter Fest 2009 at the Weslaco City Hall parking lot located at 255 S. Kansas. Winter Fest will consist of free kiddie rides, free face painting, food vendors, school choirs singing Christmas Carols and other family activities.

For more information, call the Weslaco Chamber at 968-2102 or the Parks & Recreation Office at 973-3156.

Cleaning Mold and Mildew From Your Window Air Conditioner

By
I don't think cleaning mold and mildew from your window air conditioner is a problem specific to the Rio Grande Valley. After all, there are plenty of other places with high temperatures and high humidity. However, given that there are so many of us who rely on window units to cool our homes, allow me to share some experience in cleaning these things out. Why I'm Cleaning My Own A/C Obviously, our window units grew some black stuff on the blower and its enclosure. This generated allergies in my little one, who is sensitive to such things. Not having my own laboratory, I couldn't tell you if it is mold or mildew. It matters not. What I've Tried Other than replacing the window unit every couple months, I've tried washing the unit with Clorox products. I figure bleach kills everything; but, I guess it doesn't. We still had to use cotton swabs to wipe and scrub surfaces on the blower and enclosure, which is almost impossible on some models. You can't d...

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
