During a special press conference labeled “Hard Hat Concert Announcement,” officials of the Bert Ogden Arena, told their guests that the construction of the magnificent building was underway. In addition, they said, to be planning for a big grand opening event to be announced at a later date. Also, they broke the news that Luis Miguel, an international entertainer from Mexico is scheduled to perform at a later date.
The multimillion-dollar venue is now considered the best that has happened to the Valley in this decade, and rivals with the McAllen Performing Arts Center, which is also a work of art.
Edinburg is a blessed city; it has already positioned itself in a place to lead the region. To be able to accomplish this, it takes gutsy municipal leaders with a one-of-a-kind developer. That is why Robert Vackar, president of Bert Ogden Auto Group reiterated his support for this project. He said, “Janet is in Colorado, she is taking care of the grandchildren. This morning she called asking me to speak to Alonzo Cantu to postpone this event one week. She wanted to be present and to personally express her support as well.” Mr. Vackar said that this was no longer possible. As the event was underway, he took the microphone and gave his full support to this magnificent project.
Bert Ogden Auto Group is a company that provides job opportunities and generates substantial tax revenues for the city of Edinburg. Robert and Janet Vackar are also known to be philanthropists in the full spectrum, particularly in education.
