Shrimp Boat in the Snow
 
photo by  Janice Edwards
 
Who could forget the once-in-a-lifetime South Texas snowfall on Christmas Eve 2004?  Record-setting snow fell in areas that hadn’t seen snow in more than 100 years!  More than 500 miles of Texas’ Gulf Coast were transformed into a winter wonderland.  One of these coastal areas, very near and dear to us all, was the San Bernard River.

Never ever to be forgotten, three beautiful books recount the true story of this magical, miraculous, and memorable event through 300 beautiful photographs . (300, each book)

The first "Snow" book was published last spring and immediately "sold out" - After much public support and inquiries, a second call was sent out to find additional photographs for Volume II "More Snow". The call produced 2,500 photos from professional and amateur photographers. Out of 2500 photos, only 300 of the best were selected. Proudly chosen was a photo submitted by River's End resident and our F.O.R. Board Member and P. R. Representative, Janice Edwards!  

Jan's full page photo of the "Shrimp Boat in the Snow" can be found on page 29 of Volume II "More Snow". 

These are beautiful "coffee table " books . HEB stores have the books for sale, but they go fast - copies can be ordered online. at: http://www.texassnowbook.com/index.htm

A portion of all Snow books and CD sales will benefit H-E-B’s Literacy Campaign .
