I visited your Airport several months ago and found the people and facility to be nice with fuel prices very competitive. I plan on returning, hopefully flying in the weekend of November 11th for the Peddler Craft Show to be held at the Convention Center in Robstown. Have you thought of advertising in "Fun Places to Fly.com" or other websites for events such as this? You are very close to the Convention Center and this might promote business. I'm not associated with these websites but I do prescribe to them and found them useful. Just a thought! RP

I want to say thanks to Ruben for the hospitality at the Robstown airport this past weekend. I stayed at the Days Inn less than 2 miles from the Airport and found them to very nice and accommodating as well. You all are very friendly and I look forward to my return. Good fuel prices too. Thanks, RP
