Winters“IT’S COOL TO BE IN WINTERS”
Beautiful
sunsets and wide-open skies have graced the area of West Texas known as “Winters:
A Town for All Seasons,” from the times of the Indians to the large cattle
ranches to the white cotton fields to the high-tech manufacturing of today. Referred
to as “Blizzard Country” because of the school mascot, the “winters”
are mild, but the enthusiasm and ambition of residents are far from mild. Recreational
opportunities abound in the area. Some of the state’s finest hunting –
deer, turkey, quail, dove, and wild hogs – is found nearby. Fishing and
boating on Elm Creek Reservoir draw many to the area. The Z.I. Hale Museum features
many exhibits of early-day Winters, including the Gus Pruser Agricultural Exhibit
with the first patented cotton picker in the United States. The restored Rock
Hotel features memorabilia from Baseball Hall-of-Famer Rogers Hornsby, who was
born near Winters in 1896. Relax, enjoy, and experience the history, the recreation,
ad the shopping in Winters USA. Chamber of Commerce, 118 West Dale, Winters TX
