Announcing TEXSOM International Wine Awards 2021
Now Accepting Submissions for Wine, Mead, Sake, Cider, and Spirits January 14, 2021
Dallas, Texas (January 13, 2021) James Tidwell MS, owner and producer of TEXSOM International Wine Awards, announces entries are open for judging and awards consideration for the 2021 competition to be held April 25-27, 2021 at the Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas. A new addition to this year’s judging is the inclusion of spirits (whiskey, gin, vodka, etc.), pre-mixed cocktails, cocktail components, and bitters. The competition has an improved, more tailored entry experience for sake, cider, and mead producers, all beverages judged in previous years, allowing for greater differentiation.
Demolition of the old University Avenue Bridge over the Chena River has begun, with a plan to open a new one in the fall of 2021, according to the announcement from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities.
âWhen you hear âbridge demolition,â you probably think of a BIG BOOM and lots happening at once,â Danielle Tessen, a publications specialist for the department, wrote in an email to the News-Miner. âWell, the University Avenue bridge demo wonât involve dropping the structure into the frozen river with a big explosion.â
She wrote that the 57-year-old bridge will be removed âpiece by piece.â
2020 Travel Highlights from LTV Owners
At the close of each year, we ask you, our LTV family, to tell us about your favorite travel moments from the past 12 months. 2020 was a different kind of year, and your stories reflect that.
Many explored closer to home this year. Many found a new level of appreciation for their self-contained home-on-wheels; a safe way to retreat to the outdoors while being able to distance and isolate. A few even found a unique type of refuge in their LTV, sheltering during or even escaping from challenging circumstances. More than ever, we are honored to have been a part of your stories this year.
