Del Rio Renaissance Faire gathered for its second consecutive year at Whitehead Memorial Museum on Saturday and Sunday. The event harkens back to days when knights and kings ruled the land, and when magic and mythical creatures captured the imagination.

DRRF’s biggest attraction was Austin Blood Guard, a squad of armored combat knights who brave violent free-for-alls with dangerous weapons for the joy of the audience. Other attractions included a trio of bellydancers, caricature artists, medieval-themed vendors, and numerous food and drink options.

The Faire saw over 800 visitors in its two days.

A house fire erupted this afternoon, 10/13/2025, around 3:00pm on the corner of East 1st Street and the 300 block of Avenue J in Del Rio, Texas. The fire was quickly contained, and by 5:30pm, bulldozers had completely demolished the entire property. The house was already on the city’s list for demolition, prior to the fire. Police, Fire, and the City provided comments that the property has a history of calls for drug-related issues. Witness reports say there were 4 to 5 occupants in the house when the fire started, and all were able to escape unharmed. However, approximately 6 occupants have now been displaced.

Del Rio Fire Department (DRFD) responded to the call and were on scene within 5 minutes. They said they could see the smoke from the station. All 4 DRFD pumper fire engines were dispatched, and 1 command vehicle. Flames were extinguished quickly but the structure could not be saved. DRFD Lieutenant Donald Merkle said, “it went up fast, it’s an old structure. The older the wood, the faster it will burn.” Merkle went onto say, DRFD has had “numerous medical calls for drug use” to this address.

The fire consumed building #302 and spared the adjacent building #304, located on the same tact of land. Originally, the occupants of building #302 said were making plans to go back and sleep in building #304, because it had not been damaged by the flames. However, #304 did face smoke and heat damage. Therefore, both building #302 and #304 were declared inhabitable and both were demolished. The same-day demolition came as a surprise to the occupants. They had nowhere else to go.

Locals lined up for the bi-weekly food aid event at Val Verde County Community Center, which was postponed since Friday after the trucks hauling the food from Laredo arrived a day late. But all went according to plan Tuesday as a dozen volunteers loaded vehicles with fresh veggies and bread by the crate-load. It’s an operation that benefits up to 1,000 families in a single day, says Val Verde County commissioner Gustavo Flores...
