The April 2018 issue of Corpus Christi Business News includes features about local business owners and volunteer organizations, news on major industries, and a calendar of events across the Coastal Bend — with a little bit of politics on the side for extra measure.
Spring is in the air, and the April issue of Corpus Christi News is in your mailbox and racks at businesses across the Coastal Bend.
We help get you ready for April festivals with front page stories on the upcoming SandFest and Fiesta de la Flor. You’ll also find out about the newly named Water’s Edge Park on the bayfront in downtown Corpus Christi that is now completely renovated and ready for play time. The Corpus Christi City Council will soon appoint another new member. Our front page story tells you how you can apply by the April 6 deadline.
Inside, we have a new feature on Page 2. We list short news stories, or news briefs, which we hope will soon include a tidbit of news about your business! Email editor@ccbiznews.com to let us know what’s new with you and your business.
On Page 3, learn all about the new Corpus Christi Worship Guide. An online feature at 101CorpusChristi.com/WORSHIP, the guide includes stories about church events and a calendar that provides users with a way to keep a favorites list, send event details to a digital calendar, or email information to themselves, family, or friends. Everyone is invited to make use of the information and digital tools on this page.
Businesses featured this month include:
• Custom Filtration and Plumbing Co.
• CC Foundation Repair
• Drain King Plumbing
We also have a feature on the upcoming American Advertising Federation Region 10 convention at the Omni Hotel. A four-day event, the convention is hosted by the AAF-CC, the Corpus Christi arm of what is a national organization.
