GEORGE TOWN: The Yuletide season fell upon Beach Street here on the morning of Christmas Eve, with a surprise “snowfall” at Occupy Beach Street (OBS). Called the “Snowfall Experience”, OBS pro­­ject director Jack Wong said it was aimed at allowing visitors to experience a snowy scene for the festive season. Earlier, some 5,000 runners took part in the 7km OBS Run. Previously a car-free Sunday on Beach Street from morning till 1pm, the event was later renamed OBS with social events thrown in weekly. The fun run was flagged off by Chief Minis­ter Lim Guan Eng, who also joined the run, at 7am.
