Editor's Note

Hey Valley fam — a new month is here and April is already coming in strong. From egg hunts popping up in every corner to late-night fireworks at the Island, this weekend is stacked. Whether you're chasing deals at a market, cheering at a UTRGV game, or just here for the chilaquiles (no judgment), there’s something for everyone. Grab your crew, your kids, or just your appetite — and get out there. The 956 never sleeps… especially in April.

Quick heads up before you dive in — Evermore Digital just dropped Firestarters, a hands-on AI membership where business owners are already building real workflows, not just learning. Founder spots are limited, so if you’ve been thinking about getting serious with AI, now’s the time to jump in before it fills up — join Firestarters here.

South Padre Island Levels Up

Cameron County is putting $3 million into upgrading beach access points at South Padre Island — a move that keeps one of the Valley’s favorite getaways fresh, accessible, and ready for busy seasons ahead. It’s all about making sure families, visitors, and locals can enjoy the coast without the extra stress. The 956 stays investing in what makes it special. Read More→

Meet Donkey Kong— a 4-year-old Shepherd/Terrier mix currently at Palm Valley Animal Society (Trenton location). He’s leash-trained, social with other dogs, and has a playful side, but shelter stress has made him a bit overstimulated at times — he’d truly shine in a calm, structured home. With over 50 days in the shelter, Donkey Kong urgently needs a committed foster or adopter before April 6 to give him the second chance he deserves.

You know it’s a Valley Easter when your egg hunt turns into a full-on family competition and someone’s tío is scouting hiding spots like it’s a sport.

✅ Life Hack

Heading to an outdoor event? Bring a foldable chair and an umbrella — the Valley sun does not play, and shade is always VIP.
