What can you make with old tree branches, some feathers, and string? A wind chime is just one example of a ‘Crafting with Nature Workshop’ led by Ingleside Parks and Recreation inside the Humble Community Center Friday, July 28th, participants including both children and adults from Aransas Pass and the Ingleside-area. The group enjoyed a cool, air-conditioned workspace as temperatures soared well into the 90’s, the humidity outside making temperatures even more oppressive. The event was free of charge. Organizer Anne Fontenot shared that the activity generated a lot of engagement and enthusiasm. “Everyone is having a good time,” she said, hoping to schedule more of these arts and crafts programs that have been enthusiastically embraced by young adults and older residents alike.

Irene Ramos opened ‘Little I’s’ first location here at 3019 Main St. in Ingleside selling fresh fruit treats with a Mexican American flare, ice creams, snow-cones, and candies, becoming a fan favorite until she closed the store at the end of last month. “It’s been very emotional for my family and I,” Ramos shared with customers on ‘Little I’s’ Facebook page. “I leave many memories behind. I know some of you missed coming to purchase candy and check the wall decor that some of you admired so much. I apologized but after the pandemic we figured it was faster and easier to serve our customers in a different way. As I am slowly moving stuff, I notice(d) the certificate of occupancy was 15 people! Imagine that my dear friends, I must’ve been in violation tons of times. Always very full and beyond blessed with all of you supporting me. Thank you all!” she added. An Aransas Pass resident, Ramos is now open in her second location at 1589 S. Commercial St. at the intersection of E. Johnson Ave., a busy road since it also serves as the main entry into the city’s Aquatic Center, Community Park, and the Shrimporee Grounds. This spot also includes a fenced, sit-down area with picnic tables and umbrellas when the store is open.

It was hot and very humid just after 8:00 a.m. Saturday, July 22nd, but that didn’t stop volunteers with Clean-Green Aransas Pass, joined by Aransas Pass for Youth, teaming up to rid downtown Aransas Pass of litter and debris – even in the alleys. APFY even incentivized the event for some of the kids who came, handing out gift cards for their efforts. Organizers say at least 18 people participated in this cleanup and they’re hoping for even more next time.
