A train stopped on the tracks in the heart of San Marcos, wreaking havoc on rush-hour traffic for more than an hour Friday afternoon. San Marcos police said the train was having brake issues and an emergency stop was required to check them.
There’s a chill in the wintery air and more than just a bit of excitement, too, as the 23rd Annual Sights and Sounds of Christmas gets ready to open today at 5:30 p.m.
In this installement of “Run with Moe,” Moe Johnson of the San Marcos Runners Club says there are lots of races in town before the end of the year.
The annual Sites and Sounds Gala, benefiting the 23rd annual festival, will be an evening in black and white, with a silent auction and more. Reservations are required.
Like so many places across the country, San Marcos is facing the budget crunch as the yearly “Sights and Sounds of Christmas” approaches. The non-profit organization funding the event will charge a nominal admission fee this year for the first time in the event’s history.
