During the last regular meeting of the La Feria City Commission the Office of State Representative Oscar Longoria presented VIP-La Feria RV Park and Managers John and Ruth Dearinger with a Resolution in honor of being named Medium Park of the Year by the Texas Recreational Vehicle Association.
The Dearingers and VIP-La Feria RV Park has been recognized as the best in Texas for Association involvement, excellence in operations, park promotion, management skills and relationships, community service, park growth and innovations, and visual appeal of the park and upkeep. Each year they host over 100 Winter Texans and do an excellent job of making them feel right at home in the Rio Grande Valley. They have also been working with members to build a volunteer group that helps the La Feria community during special events.

TRVA Executive Director, Phil Elam, said “We are so lucky to have members like John and Ruth Dearinger as part of our Association and as representatives of the RV industry. They are committed to making the RV lifestyle enjoyable for those who are on the road or at their park. John and Ruth are striving to grow the RV lifestyle for present and future RVers and that is what our industry needs to continue to grow and strengthen. VIP La Feria is a great representation of what RV Parks should be doing for all those who come and stay and they represent South Texas in a great way.”
TRVA Director of Special Events, Mary Claire Campos, added “John and Ruth are amazing ambassadors for VIP La Feria, South Texas, and the RV lifestyle.”
