The 2006 – 2007 Season has ended and most of our winter residents have gone home.

Our 2006 – 2007 season started with an October 31st party at the hall. Prizes awarded for the best Halloween costumes. All enjoyed snacks, treats, door prizes, games and dancing. See pictures here.

On Saturday, August 12 the Rio Grande Valley Quilt Guild meeting was held at Paradise South RV Park, just north of their regular meeting location (Marble Arch, Mercedes).

After a short business meeting the group played quilo (quilt bingo) had lunch, show and tell, demonstrations by Scaief’s Fabrics and Picket Fence from Harlingen. There were also demonstrations by two guild members. Many prizes were also awarded. See Pictures Here

Today February 12th 2006 was the 50th Wedding celebration at the Recreation Hall for our honorees that were married in 1956. There were 8 couples that were joined in the hall by two more couples that arrived in the park to late to be included with the others. There was one couple that could not attend because of a death in the family. They were missed. The program consisted of a short skit by members of our park, that were comments that might have been made in 1956. Parts of Blue Skirt Waltz, Rock Around the Clock and You, You, You were played and two couples danced to them. MC, Evan Graham then introduced three of the Honorees, then Earl Ross sang “The Twelfth of Never, accompanied on the piano by Hilma Lamphere. Two more Honorees were introduced, followed by another song, “No Other Love” sang by Hilma Lamphere, accompanied on the piano by Reba Hawbaker. The rest of the Honorees were introduced, followed by Maxine Goshorn singing “Tell Me Why”. The program was completed with a Thank You from chairperson Lois Swain. The Honorees and guest then enjoyed cake and punch. Click here for pictures of the occasion.
