TEXAS SNOWBIRDS NESTING LONGER IN 2010


CROWLEY (TexasCampgrounds.com) – There are more travelers wintering in Texas this year than last, and they are staying longer, according to a survey by TexasCampgrounds.com.

Just over half of the “Winter Texans” surveyed plan to spend as much time wintering here as they did last year, and 35 percent plan to stay longer.

According to the survey, 39 percent of Winter Texans vacation in the Hill Country, and 38 percent set up camp along the Gulf Coast. Only 24 percent said they spend winter in the Rio Grande Valley, the area Texas Association of Campground Owners previously thought to be the most popular among winter travelers.

The survey also found that 26 percent of respondents planned to stay at one park the entire winter, and 53 percent of Winter Texans also spend time in other states during the season.

The majority of respondents, 40 percent, said they planned to winter in Texas for one to two months. An additional 15 percent planned to stay three to four weeks, while 13 percent planned to stay three to four months and 25 percent planned to stay six months or longer.

Two Aggie hunters from College Station hired a pilot to fly them to Canada to hunt moose. They bagged four. As they started loading the plane for the return trip home, the pilot tells them the plane can take only two moose.

The two Aggies objected strongly, stating, "Last year we shot four moose, and the pilot let us put them all on board, and he had the same plane as yours." Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all four were loaded. Unfortunately, even at full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and crashed a few minutes after takeoff.

Climbing out of the wreck, Morris asked Williams, "Any idea where we are?"

Williams replied, "I think we're pretty close to where we crashed last year."

A bouquet of yellow roses now brings to mind all of the sunny, cheerful feelings of warmth and happiness. In contrast to the romantic meanings attributed to other roses, the yellow rose is purely a symbol for friendship. This gives it a unique place in the pantheon of roses. Yellow roses can send the perfect message of appreciation and platonic love without the romantic subtext of other colors. They can represent feelings of joy and delight, and are an ideal way to brighten someone's day who may be feeling down. There is perhaps no other flower that is able to bring out a smile in quite the way that a yellow rose can.

MORE ROOM FOR HORSEPLAY AT RODEO


SAN ANTONIO (San Antonio Express-News) – The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo unveiled two metal horse facilities totaling 180,900 sf Wednesday, the first new buildings aside from the AT&T Center in 20 years.

The new Exposition Center and Marketplace and a separate structure housing 732 horse stalls replace the 60-year-old barns that housed the horse competitions.

The $10 million Exposition Center and Marketplace includes space for horse show offices, a competition arena and a commercial exhibitor showroom. Another $6 million added a centrally heated warm-up arena and 135,000 sf of horse stalls.

The stalls structure will open up as many as five previously used barns and allow space for 126 more commercial exhibitors.

The facilities were constructed jointly by Bexar County and the San Antonio Livestock Exposition.

The Bexar County Community Arenas board, the rodeo grounds landlord, will lease the facilities for conventions, weddings and other group events when they are not in use.
