Posted on August 27, 2025

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Hi, I’m Cristina Rodda, your entertainment expert! There’s so much to do in the borderland, I had to put it all in one place for you with the weekly KTSM 9 Que Pasa? entertainment report. I searched high and low, spoke to friends and did some internet digging just for you. Check out this weekend’s events!

American Eagle Paintball

This Labor Day weekend, round up your crew and gear up for battle—it’s time for the American Eagle Paintball Party Headquarters showdown! Bring at least 10 friends (the more, the messier!) and get ready for some friendly paint-slinging competition. Trust me, this will be a game of nonstop action!
