"Our parade is rain or shine. We will be out there no matter what. Our parade kicks off at 6:30 p.m. It will be making its way from College Street down Austin Street so you can line anywhere up and down Austin Street. However, the most excitement happens downtown at Central Park. Of course, we will have vendors out there. We have all of our Christmas trees that will be fully decorated. After the parade completes, there will be Santa up there available for pictures. We'll have the awards ceremony and of course, there will be also be the Central Park lighting as well. So definitely stick around after the parade because there's still a lot of excitement going on to about 8:30 - 9 o'clock at night,' said Hajek. See PARADE, page 2
Candidate announces intention to campaign for Guadalupe County Sheriff By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Guadalupe County) -- A Guadalupe County Constable is announcing his intentions to run for Guadalupe County Sheriff. Constable Pct. 2 Jimmy Harless says after much consideration, he has decided to seek the Republican nomination for the position during the March 2020 Primary. "I've had a lot of people approach me saying that they would like to see a little bit different vision and I've
been around in this community a long time and have been in public service since I was 20 years old. I'm now 53 and learned a lot of different things -- made a lot of mistakes, met a lot of friends and I love the people in this community and I just think that now is the time that I would like to give the voters of Guadalupe County a choice. They have not had a choice for sheriff since 2004 and they have encouraged me to give them that choice and I think that I would be a good candidate," said Harless. See CANDIDATE, page 3

United Alloy to build new $35 million manufacturing facility in Seguin By Darren Dunn (Seguin) -- More jobs are again on the way to the city of Seguin. The Seguin City Council on Tuesday approved a performance and tax abatement agreement with United Alloy. Josh Schneuker, executive director of the Seguin Economic Development Corporation (SEDC), says this is a large company that's looking to make a sizable investment in Seguin. It's building a large
manufacturing facility and it bring with it dozens of new jobs. The multi-million project calls for the construction of a brand new manufacturing facility, and additional investments to be made here in Seguin. "They are proposing an investment of $35 million which they will build a new 200,000 square foot manufacturing facility. Tied in with
that, they'll be creating 100 new jobs over a five year period with a total annual payroll at final ramp up at about $6 million and this is what the company is committing to," said Scheuker. This project will be built on the city's north side, near two other SEDC projects -- the Rio Nogales Power Plant and the Niagara Bottling Plant. See ALLOY, page 2
