As many of you know, the Flying Walrus has had to endure several unwarranted attacks by its own city of McAllen in recent months. The stress of these events has taken a strong toll on our Owner, GM, Booking Manager and Front of the House Manager, James Alexander, which culminated in his hospitalization just a few weeks ago. A number of staff, doctors and friends have advised James to “ take it easy and lean on them for help”. Among them was @wheres_steven25 who has handled the majority of door and security duties for several years now. Steven has also grown as a promoter and booking agent himself in his time at The Walrus. So in the spirit of solidarity, growth and hope for the future we proudly announce that the decision has been made to name Steven Guerrero the new Booking and Assistant Floor Manager for The Flying Walrus.
We are exciting for what Steven brings to the Flying Walrus. His sincere love for the community has always been undeniable and his hard work and friendship have not gone unnoticed. We hope you all join us in congratulating Steven and most of all thanking him for his past efforts and support him in his journey forward.
With Hope and Excitement for the Future,
The Flying Walrus

Winter isn't just cooler for us ❄️—it’s a real survival test for birds 🐦. With longer nights 🌙 and colder temperatures 🥶, their internal “heaters” (metabolism) have to work overtime. While food is a must, water is just as critical 💧. Birds need water to stay hydrated and to keep their feathers clean—essential for insulation and warmth.
A reliable source of open water can make your yard the go-to winter hangout, even for birds that don't normally visit feeders. If temperatures dip below freezing 🧊, you can use a bird bath heater in an existing plastic or stone bird bath, or try a bird bath with a built-in heater.

On EXHIBITION at UTRGV - The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley:
Mujeres Innovadoras: Cultural Artistry Over Time
August 9, 2025 – December 18, 2025
at UTRGV Main Campus Library
The IMAS is grateful for the support from and collaboration with the UTRGV Center for Latin American Arts and the UTRGV Main Campus Library for hosting this outreach exhibition on campus.
UTRGV summer interns were able to research, curate, install, and exhibit a selection of works from the IMAS Mexican and Latin American Folk Art Collection. The exhibit examines the important, yet often-overlooked role women play in the transmission of traditional knowledge in communities in Mexico. The exhibit will be up for the Fall 2025 semester.
The practice, by women, of traditional artforms in their communities highlights mastery, adaptation, and innovation through the use of new and different materials, concepts, and cultural influences. It is all too common for the contributions of women to be overlooked in history, Mujeres Innovadoras: Cultural Artistry Over Time presents not only the work, tools, and traditions of talented craftswomen but also the ways in which they create and sustain their communities. The works presented embody the sense of comfort and belonging these women help cultivate, while carrying forward traditions that continue to inspire future generations.

Exciting news for the Valley. We celebrated the opening of Rio Grande Regional Hospital’s new Hybrid Operating Room and expanded surgical space with a ribbon cutting.
This advancement brings important technology to our community. It will support better outcomes and improve access to care for thousands of patients. Congratulations to the hospital team for their continued work on behalf of local families.
Thank you to our ambassadors for volunteering your time and representing the McAllen Chamber of Commerce at this event. Your professionalism adds value to every ribbon cutting and strengthens our business community.
Some people need coffee to start their day — J-Roc just needs his Harley and his Rockford Fosgate turned up. 🎶🏍️
That morning ride clears his mind before work… and the ride home resets his soul.
Call it throttle therapy — the best stress relief money can buy.
Who else wants to feel that freedom every day?

"We are at the right place at the right time. Across Texas, momentum is building. Our state is investing in innovation, expanding industry, and shaping what competitiveness will look like in the decade ahead," said Elizabeth Suarez, President & CEO McAllen Chamber of Commerce and McAllen Economic Development Corporation. She added, "Here in McAllen, we are ready: more aligned, more focused, and more capable than ever before. This board retreat was about understanding why this moment matters, where Texas is headed, and how McAllen is positioned to lead."
Thanks to the State of Texas and City of McAllen TX Government leaders who joined us to discuss our shared future. It was an opportunity to look ahead, explore the possibilities before us, review next year’s program of work, and align around the goals and measures that will drive McAllen forward.
The outcome was powerful. Our board left energized by the collaboration with our government and community partners, proud to share bold ideas for McAllen’s growth, and confident in the path forward as we strengthen McAllen EDC’s structure and align both organizations for greater impact.
At the end of the day, we hope everyone left with three things:
• A clear picture of where the McAllen Chamber and McAllen EDC are headed
• A sense of ownership in helping us get there
• Pride in what this team is accomplishing for our community
🎉 20 incredible years in business! Congratulations to ASAP Printing Solutions! 🎉

On EXHIBITION at UTRGV - The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley: Mujeres Innovadoras: Cultural Artistry Over Time August 9, 2025 – December 18, 2025 at UTRGV Main Campus Library The IMAS is grateful for the support from and collaboration with the UTRGV Center for Latin American Arts and the UTRGV Main Campus Library for hosting this outreach exhibition on campus. UTRGV summer interns were able to research, curate, install, and exhibit a selection of works from the IMAS Mexican and Latin American Folk Art Collection. The exhibit examines the important, yet often-overlooked role women play in the transmission of traditional knowledge in communities in Mexico. The exhibit will be up for the Fall 2025 semester. The practice, by women, of traditional artforms in their communities highlights mastery, adaptation, and innovation through the use of new and different materials, concepts, and cultural influences. It is all too common for the contributions of women to be overlooked in history, Mujeres Innovadoras: Cultural Artistry Over Time presents not only the work, tools, and traditions of talented craftswomen but also the ways in which they create and sustain their communities. The works presented embody the sense of comfort and belonging these women help cultivate, while carrying forward traditions that continue to inspire future generations.

We love when we're able to support local projects that align with our mission to bring people and nature together and #SaveTheSongBirds. And it's especially exciting when we see young people getting involved, like Gabriela Shalom Alvarez! 🤩 As part of her Gold Award Girl Scout project, Gabriela is working to restore Eagle Pond at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park and do community outreach to encourage bird-friendly backyards. We were happy to donate seed, bird-feeding guides, and in-store coupons to help support her project. 🏆 Check out Gabriela's project website and the interview she did with us: https://onefeatheratatime.my.canva.site https://youtu.be/rh33tLgoMD4?si=ITZbH9cS0Ir3mgRj Way to go, Gabriela!

"We are at the right place at the right time. Across Texas, momentum is building. Our state is investing in innovation, expanding industry, and shaping what competitiveness will look like in the decade ahead," said Elizabeth Suarez, President & CEO McAllen Chamber of Commerce and McAllen Economic Development Corporation. She added, "Here in McAllen, we are ready: more aligned, more focused, and more capable than ever before. This board retreat was about understanding why this moment matters, where Texas is headed, and how McAllen is positioned to lead." Thanks to the State of Texas and City of McAllen TX Government leaders who joined us to discuss our shared future. It was an opportunity to look ahead, explore the possibilities before us, review next year’s program of work, and align around the goals and measures that will drive McAllen forward. The outcome was powerful. Our board left energized by the collaboration with our government and community partners, proud to share bold ideas for McAllen’s growth, and confident in the path forward as we strengthen McAllen EDC’s structure and align both organizations for greater impact. At the end of the day, we hope everyone left with three things: • A clear picture of where the McAllen Chamber and McAllen EDC are headed • A sense of ownership in helping us get there • Pride in what this team is accomplishing for our community
