Twelve Days of Christmas kicks off with 37th Annual Parade
Juan Navejar Jr.
The Twelve Days of Christmas are right around the corner and bigger and better for the Holidays is the goal of the Alice Chamber of Commerce/CVB and City of Alice.
Two great speakers enlightened a nice crowd about the future of the oil and gas industry for South Texas during the Lucien Flournoy Old Fashion Barbecue last month.
It’s December and my term as Board President comes to a close at the end of the month. It has been a great pleasure to have served as the board president for the past two years.
Our goals for the Chamber were met. We had more than 20 grand openings in 2017.
Shopping during the holiday season can be fun and yet stressful without adding to it. We often do no think twice about our security when pushing a shopping cart. This past weekend I went to a couple of stores and took notice as to how people protect their belongings while shopping.
It’s Christmas time and the weather sure makes it feel like the holidays are right around the corner, not to mention a new year. With that my term as Ambassador president comes to an end this month.
The holiday shopping season is upon us. Do you know how much you’ll spend this year? Or are you unpleasantly surprised when the bills start rolling in?
Here are four tips to help you take control of your holiday shopping:

Religious and Pilgrimage Tourism in Uncertain Times
Tourism Tidbits
The month of December is on of the times of the year when much of the world is faith oriented. It is also a time of the year when emotions run high, the weather is a challenge, and when the threat of violence and disease are ever present. Tragically periods of high religious intensity also lead to either passive or active acts of violence.
