Michael and Asenette Hernandez, owners of Hays Co. BBQ, have always been about setting goals. When they worked in “Corporate America” as they call it, both had jobs where they that got to work early and stayed late. There were always new goals to meet and achieve.

Sand castles and Summer in the Park. It doesn’t get much better than that. For 27 years, Summer in the Park has been the musical event of the season in San Marcos. This year’s concert series kicked-off with a performance by the Los Angeles-based Incendio on Thursday night. Barry Brittain has a passion for music (he helps put together Summer in the Park and co-owns Texas Music Theater) and a passion for sand castles. As a part of the San Marcos Suns, Brittain has been building elaborate sand structures on South Padre Island year after year.
