 Plans Set for Texas Onion Fest

WESLACO, TX – The 2010 planning committee for the Texas Onion Fest is working full speed ahead on the event scheduled for March 27th.

 The Texas Onion Fest celebrates the development of the world famous Texas 1015 Onion which was developed in Weslaco, Texas, by Dr. Leonard Pike at the Texas A&M University Extension Service. The name of the 1015 onion came from the suggested planting date, October 15.  The festival brings the community together for a fun filled day of onion eating contests, cooking demonstrations, recipe contests, entertainment and so much more.

The event is a perfect marketing venue for businesses wishing to communicate their message to a highly targeted audience. Corporate marketing sponsorships play an integral role in the development of the Texas Onion Fest.  We can offer the opportunity to strengthen corporate image and promote brand identity.  Opportunities are available which include exposure in pre-event marketing and advertising. 

The Texas Onion Fest is a coordinated effort of the Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce.  As a member of the Texas Festival and Events Association, the event is held in high regard across the state. In 2009, the Onion Fest was awarded with eight marketing and advertising awards including Best Event Video for its marketing efforts by peers in the TFEA. 

For further information please contact the Weslaco Area Chamber of Commerce at 956-968-2102 or visit our website - www.weslaco.com/OnionFest.

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.
