The Team Ferny Run was held this Sunday at Shelby Park and was a very succesful running event as many people from acroos the state were on hand to take part in the first of many Team Ferny 5k/10k runs in our area. Runners from Mexico, San Antonio, Austin and across Texas gathered to run in a highly competitive race that took runners through scenic downtown and along our Mexican border on a surprisingly cool and pleasent day for a run.

Tejano music star Michael Salgado was on hand to meet and greet fans on Thursday at HEB which culminated the CarneSazo promotion as Unit Director Andy Perales, 2nd Unit Director Victor Garcia and the friendly staff at the local grocery store welcomed the many visitors.
Salgado is presently promoting his latest single, a duet with Diana Reyes entitled "Ya no te puedo amar" on Zurdo Records, in banda format. Salgado is remembered for his hits "Sin ella" and "Cruz de madera."
A table was set up at the front of the store where patrons stood in a relatively long line at 4:00 where they withstood a two-hour wait before they could get an autographed picture of Salgado, snap a quick photo and then proceed out of the store to be greeted with a couple of free carne asada tacos prepared with the traditional Eagle Pass flair as Juan Delgado, Edel Hernandez, Celeste Martinez, Nick Ancira and Karina Bailón prepared the meat.
All in all it was a highly successful promotion and according to both employees and patrons alike, we can only hope it won't be the last CarneSazo at your local HEB.

When the Eagle Pass Eagles of 1955 hit the field before their first game, which was Cozel Foster's first at the helm of the fledgling program which hadn't experienced much success in high school football at the time, they may have not been the best athletes in South Texas, but Foster made them think they were.
They were going to fight to destroy the will of their opponent and were going to wear them down in the process because that's what Coach Foster's teams did and did well, will themselves to victory and leaving bigger, faster teams gasping for air when they would collectively raise four fingers in the air symbolizing that this game was not over yet, by no stretch of the imagination.
