Mariceli Santiago with Central Texas College

In this episode of Local Spotlight, we sit down with Mariceli Santiago, Director of Student Life & Activities at Central Texas College, to talk about one of the most anticipated events of the season — the Fall Carnival & Haunted House.

This family-friendly campus tradition brings two nights of festive fun, community spirit, and just the right amount of fright.

Guests can enjoy:

  • Trunk-or-Treat (Friday, 6–8 p.m.)
  • 🎬 A screening of Lights Out (Saturday at 9 p.m. at the Mayborn Science Theater)
