B ROWNSVILLE — Betty Samuel Landreth can still remember riding in the very first Charro Days parade as a high school junior in 1938 and going to a ball at the El Jardin Hotel back when it was “the place to be in Brownsville.”
On Thursday, Landreth, now 100, was honored as the grand marshal of the 2023 Brownsville Independent School District Children’s Charro Days Parade.
