The South Texas Children’s Arts Festival is offering Valley children the opportunity to win SPI vacations for their families by answering and illustrating questions from the Gospel of John. A stay at either the Isla Grand Beach Resort or Holiday Inn Beach Resort South Padre Island are the prizes on the line. Included in the vacations are credits to eat at restaurants on each resort property.
“I’m looking for material for my ‘Kids Talk About God’ syndicated newspaper column and ‘Kids Color Me Bible Gospel of John,’” said Arts Festival Chairman Carey Kinsolving. “It’s a lot easier to get kids to answer Bible questions and illustrate them when you give them the incentive to win South Padre Island vacations for their families.”
In July 2023, ten-year-old winner Abrian Ramos of Edinburg spent a week at Isla Grand Beach Resort with his family. He splashed in Isla Grand’s two swimming pools and at the beach. His schedule of fun things to do included going to the waterpark, watching fireworks, riding the banana boat and parasailing.
“I spent about half of my $600 in Grand Bucks on ice cream,” said Ramos.
“We’ve been so proud of Abrian to have won this competition,” said Bertha Ramos, his mother. “Isla Grand has been nothing but great. As parents, the most important thing is to see our children’s efforts rewarded. This is a great way to motivate children to always do their best.”
