THIS WEEK: DAVID RUSSO
MIDCOUNTIES CO-OPERATIVE PERSONAL TRAVEL AGENT
Q&A
David Russo of Midcounties Co-operative looks back on the highlights of a trip to Texas last year that turned him into a Cover Star, despite being camera shy and a reluctant shopper
Q. It’s been a year since your trip to Texas with Cover Stars, how does it feel looking back on it now? A. I still have a big smile on my face. It was an amazing trip. It was epic to say the least. I loved it.
Q. Have you sold much Texas since the trip?
A. Before going to Texas, I hadn’t sold it

DAVID’S OUTFIT
David’s outfit is perfect for any occasion. The jacket and shoes from the Hugo Boss outlet and jumper and jeans from Lucky Brand Outlet creates the ultimate combination of smart-casual.
Shot at the Modern Art Museum of Texas, David’s look was created at Grand Prairie Premium Outlets. Part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the Simon property offers spectacular discounts of 25%-65% every day from more than 110 outlet stores including Bloomingdale’s The Outlet Store, Hugo
Boss, J-Crew and Tommy Hilfiger.

Q. With a packed first day ahead, you needed a rest on the flight out, so did you manage to sleep then? A. On the way out it was so exciting, but it was tough going once we were there, because we were so tired. We went to this huge Mexican restaurant, which was amazing. There was a queue of people, but we got ushered through like VIPs. After that we went to a rodeo, something I thought I’d never get to experience. Then we went to a Willie Nelson gig at the biggest pub I’ve even been to. I went to bed after being awake for more than 30 hours, but I was still buzzing.
Q. Tell us about where you stayed. A. We stayed at the Sheraton Hotel in Fort Worth, the Omni Downtown in
