The City of Eagle Pass Parks and Recreation Department is announcing its 9th annual Summer Sizzler Race Series on July 4th and 14th.
"We're inviting all local athletes from South Texas and Northern Coahuila to our Summer Sizzler Race Series," stated Jorge Sanchez of the Eagle Pass PARD, "We usually get a good turnout for our races as we have had 40-60 participants each year."
The first event will be the 5K run on July 4th at 8:00 A.M. at the Eagle Pass Golf Course where six divisions will be running for cash prizes.

In two strokes of fate and luck, two local residents have been awarded $500 gift cards in one day at Ashley Furniture.
Ashley graciously donated a $500.00 prize in the annual St. Joseph's Raffle among many other community oriented events in which the company goes the extra mile for its customers in both Eagle Pass and Del Rio.
Ashley General Manager Ryan Ricks informed The News Gram that he is happy to inform the general public of the good fortune of two Ashley Furniture customers who will get to put these certificates to good use.
