Multi-generational pleas for participation in the 2020 Census rang out on the lawn of the Hays County Courthouse in San Marcos Saturday. In a celebration that also gave a nod to Texas Independence Day, students from Hays CISD’s Elm Grove Elementary sang. Speakers included Kyle City Council member and Democratic nominee for sheriff Alex Villalobos and Maria Rocha of the Institute of Indigenous Cultures. The united theme? “Everybody counts.”
