Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, December 6, 2024.
We're starting off the day with a look at some exciting holiday events happening around the city. Tonight, Texas Tech Health El Paso is hosting its second annual Lighting Campus for Hope from 6 to 8 p.m. The free event will transform the campus into a winter wonderland with family-friendly activities and a fireworks show, all while supporting life-saving cancer screenings. Meanwhile, the City of Socorro's WinterFest kicks off with a lights parade at 6:30 p.m. at Sanchez Middle School, ending at the Rio Vista Community Center. And in Horizon City, the tree lighting ceremony is at 5 p.m. at Corcoran Park, followed by a Christmas parade tomorrow morning.
In job market news, we're seeing a variety of new job postings from top local employers. El Paso Live is currently hiring for several positions, including event staff, catering sales managers, and part-time banquet servers. You can find more information on their website.
Moving on to real estate, we're seeing some notable commercial property sales and new development projects. CBRE is listing several properties for sale or lease in El Paso, including office and industrial spaces. However, we don't have any specific updates on median home prices or inventory levels this week.
From city hall, we're keeping an eye on the upcoming runoff election on December 14. Voters will be casting their final ballots for mayor and several city representative seats. Early voting is currently underway and will run until December 10.
Weather-wise, it's looking like a chilly day ahead with overcast skies and a high of around 7 degrees Celsius. We're expecting minimal rainfall this month, with only 2 rainy days predicted. So, it should be a great day to get out and enjoy some of the holiday events happening around the city.
In new business activity, we don't have any major announcements this week. However, we do want to remind you to support local businesses during the holiday season.
Looking ahead to the next few days, we have some exciting community events lined up. The WinterFest Holiday Movie Series continues at the Plaza Theatre, with free screenings of "Elf" and "It's A Wonderful Life" on Sunday. And on Saturday, the Horizon City Christmas parade kicks off at 10 a.m.
In local school news, we don't have any specific achievements or sports results to report this week. However, we do want to give a shout-out to all the students and teachers working hard as we approach the end of the semester.
Finally, in crime news, we don't have any significant incidents or arrests to report from the past 24 hours. However, we do want to remind everyone to stay safe and aware during the holiday season.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
