SAN MARCOS – The LBJ Museum of San Marcos hosted its annual ‘60s Night’ on Aug. 16. The event took place at the museum, and showcased a variety of 60s memorabilia including literature, traditional posters, and photography.

Guests in attendance were also encouraged to dress in 60s attire, or to come dressed as a celebrity from the era.

“The event is part of the annual ‘Wine Walk’ here in San Marcos so we had snacks and drinks available for guests,” said Texas State graduate Elizabeth Delgado, the manager of the musuem. “We also conducted a silent auction and costume contest.”

Delgado was appointed to replace former museum manager Bill Cunningham after he had submitted his formal resignation to the musuem’s board of directors in May of this year.

 “I’ve lived in San Marcos for three years,” Delgado said. “I’m excited to be a part of the museum and working with the board members and the staff.”

The LBJ Museum is open to the public free of charge from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. For more information about the museum and ongoing events, please visit their website at http://lbjmuseum.com/.
