Yes indeedy, for bids in excess of a very, very cool $20k, you can commemorate the historical meteorological events of Xmas 2004 which turned parts of the Lone Star State into a veritable winter wonderland. Read on: This is a wonderful piece of history, a snowball has not been made in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. in over a hundred years, this I made in my front yard in Laguna Vista, TX (about 5 miles from South Padre). On December 25.2004. It has not snowed here since about 1889. A lot of people here never seen snow, it was an extraordinary event. If you are a science buff or just want part of history for many years you should bid now. The snowball is in great condition, very clean bright white. It's size is about 4" X 4" X 3" a baseball. Don't miss out bid now or wait a hundred years and make your own. Quite right. Texas snowballs are as rare as hen's teeth - get 'em while they're, er, cold. Speaking of which, the vendor notes that he will "CHECK ON METHOD OF SHIPPING WITH MAILBOX ETC/UPS STORE OR HOW EVER WINNING BIDDER WANTS IT SHIPPED". Well, if we were paying 20 grand for a snowball, we'd want it shipped in something suitably chilly. A fridge comes to mind. And at that price we'd expect the seller to throw in a carrot nose, a couple of pieces of coal for eyes and a ten-gallon hat to make it a real refrigerated talking-point. ® Some question I am sure you will ask, why am I selling out? I will  be moving to the Philippines and it's impossible to take this business with me, Why the Philippines? My Wife is Filipino I spent much time there & I am getting up in years, like upper 60ds and will retirer there. How ever I will be available on the Internet to help you if needed.   I will also have to help you learn before moving, you could not just do it on your own, may even take a few months if you did not do ebay before.

Golfers find that South Padre and the Rio Grande Valley sport some of southeastern Texas’s best courses, including the championship-caliber South Padre Island Golf Club. Anglers find the clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico and landlocked Laguna Madre Bay ripe with flounder, red snapper, amberjack, whiting, kingfish, marlin, and sailfish. South Padre’s ? Poet Iabel dining scene is as diverse as it is plentiful, with restaurants serving Polynesian, Mediterranean, Italian, Mexican and New American fare. For the late-night crowd, the island springs to life with terrific bars and dance clubs, and countless thatch-roofed huts and beachside cabanas serve cold brews and mixed drinks well into the night. Fun places like Louie’s Backyard, with its bungee tower and outdoor dance floor, and Club Rio Beach, a huge park that boasts everything from thrilling pavilion rides to rocking concerts, round out the Padre Island night scene. South Padre Island is one of the premiere spots in the state to observe wildlife in its natural state, and to find that allusive bird to add to your list. One of the best spots in the United States to see all of the regularly occurring rails, South Padre has over 300 recorded species to date, and the list continues to grow, as do the bird watchers. Port Isable, South Padre Island is also very close to Matamoros Mexico. Guide companies offer shuttle services to our southern neighbor daily. Mexico is known for inexpensive public markets, a terrific dining scene, and bustling nightspots. The natural beauty of its beaches, its vibrant business climate and the friendly people that call the Island home matches South Padre's rich history. The white, sandy beaches of South Padre are known throughout the United States (ranked as one of America's top 10 beaches), with the emerald water of the Gulf of Mexico serving as the perfect backdrop for spectacular sunsets.
