Brownsville to host "Civil War Day" through April 16th

Brownsville citizens are you ready to learn history? so get your civil war costumes, dress up, and head out to the Darcy Building this weekend and celebrate the first annual "Civil War Day", a wonderful event that will take place the weekend of April 13th and its brought to you via the Cameron County Historical Association.

The public will be able to attend  a mock slave auction also they will learn about the dangers of typhoid fever, witness a lobotomy or take part in a state of the art civil war embalming process brought to you by UTB/TSC dropouts that will be able to talk to the public and inform them about the history of Fort Brown and the way the residents of Cameron County dealt with the Civil War.

The four over the hill men that run this small organization that tries to promote all things Brownsville is asking the participation of only the best in town, and is seeking new funding for its never ending program of printing out huge photographs of this old town with a small pixel resolution and pasting them all around town.

The event is free to the public but attendees are encouraged to wear their best civil war costumes and clothes so they can go back in time for a weekend and explore the emotions and    life experiences that the civilians and armed forces endured during this grim period in American History.

Channel Four News: " We did not lie to the Lower Rio Grande Valley about Morissey Concert"!

In a news bulletin Channel Four News denies allegations that they mislead the Lower Rio Grande Valley promoting in their web page that famed The Smiths singer "Morrissey" was coming to the Pharr Arena Event Center this coming November 30th.  Channel Four News expressed in social media Facebook and their Webpage the following quote: " We express sincere regret to the fans that thought that Morrissey was coming to the valley, but in reality, we never mislead the public with promotion of the concert in our webpage, we always stated it was an impersonator.  We hope the public does not get discouraged with this situation and still enjoys the concert and the summer shows showing at the Pharr Arena Events Center".

Fans of Morrissey have taken to social outlets like Facebook and Twitter announcing disbelief and outrage at the misleading of this event. Thousands of fans are still holding unto their tickets and hopeful the event on November 30th wont be a scam.As for now, ticketmaster is not denying or confirming the story, the tickets are still on sale, but you can get a complete refund only in the first 72 hours.  Fans of Morrissey of the Lower Rio Grande Valley are ectastic with the news that he will be able to play in their little town, and they dont care if in the end, its an impersonator or a cover band, for them to listen to hits like "Girlfriend in a Coma" or " Let Me Kiss You" is worth the cover charge of $68.99.


If we will it, he will come...
