Episode 11

This week, Hey Elgin! is delighted to welcome Kristina Alvarez, Elgin’s Main Street Manager and the mastermind behind the city’s beloved Hogeye Festival. With the festival now entering its 38th year, we dive into what it takes to coordinate one of Central Texas’s most unique celebrations and explore what it truly means to be a certified Main Street City. Kristina sheds light on the programs that keep downtown vibrant, the future of our historic heart, and, as is tradition on this podcast, we wrap up the conversation by swapping some fascinating local ghost stories and spooky tales.
