LAREDO, Texas – On Tuesday, June 11, 2024, the City of Laredo International Airport hosted a special event to determine who the two fortunate participants would win the first vacation giveaway. A digital spinning wheel was shown on the terminal’s large screen and Laredo’s Mayor, Dr. Victor D. Trevino, along with the giveaway sponsors, assisted in the random drawing of the two winners.

The event included important remarks by Mayor Dr. Trevino, the Laredo International Airport Director, Mr. Gilberto Sanchez, and sponsors from Hachar Media, Killam Development, and Laredo Heat. The exciting promotion launched on May 30 and was open for nine days, with an overwhelming 1,677 entries from the enthusiastic community. The giveaway includes two round-trips for two passengers each. The winners will fly directly from Laredo, Texas (LRD) to Los Angeles, California (LAX), enjoy a 4-day, 3-night stay in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, and receive a $500.00 Visa Gift Card for travel expenses.

“These types of events make the quality of life for the people of Laredo even better,” said Mayor Dr. Victor D. Trevino, “We are making strides to make Laredo better, seeing the activity in our airport, improving the amenities like the addition of the gift shop, and as long as I am Mayor, I will support all the efforts to benefit our community.”

At the moment of the drawing, the digital spinning wheel was activated by pushing the big red button, and the first winner was selected: Mr. Fernando Andres Lemus. The second winner was Mr. Jeffrey A. Jones. Additionally, two alternative participants were selected in the unfortunate case that the first two winners could not accept the prize.

The City of Laredo, the members of the Laredo International Airport, the sponsors, and everyone involved in the planning process of this unique event were thrilled after the phenomenal response and for making the giveaway to LAX an unforgettable experience.
