ME!
Disclaimer: A state near many of you and IN the state where many of you live!
When I was a little girl growing up in South Texas (a long time ago), I remember seeing a bunch of Winter Texans out having fun, dancing and laughing. I thought to myself, ‘That’s what I want to be when I grow up.’ Fast forward 40 years, and I’ve created a business that revolves around Winter-Texan hospitality.
I’ve spent the past 12 years learning all about our Winter Texans. I know a LOT about Winter Texans, where you come from and what you like to do while you’re in South Texas. I guess you could say I’m a Winter-Texan expert of sorts. One thing I know for sure: Word of mouth is the #1 thing that drives people to winter in Texas.
With this in mind, I’m beyond thrilled to announce our 1st Annual Winter Texan Reunion Tour!! This September, we’ll be hosting seven events across five states to celebrate our Winter-Texan friends and to recruit a whole lot more. It’s time to bring Texas to the Midwest to show prospective Winter Texans what the fuss is all about!
On top of the fun, we’ll have all sorts of information on wintering in South Texas, as well as games and giveaways. Bring your friends who want to know more about South Texas to the party with you!
For right now, save the dates! Then stay tuned for more details!

We would love to involve you! We’re looking for volunteers at all of the sites, so let us know if you’re in!
I can’t wait to see where so many of my Winter-Texan friends live when you’re not with us in the Rio Grande Valley! We are excited to get this road-trip started!
We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi
