It’s Legit Christmas-y at Hill Country Galleria

Written by |

‘Tis the season to grab your smartphone and start adding events to your calendar, because you don’t want to miss what’s buzzing at Hill Country Galleria.

Christmas is bigger and more Christmas-y than ever at Hill Country Galleria with a new and spectacular Santa’s Wonderland like you’ve never seen before. Santa is so smitten that he wants to stay way out west with us because he doesn’t want to leave his cool new digs. We think he’s going to list his North Pole workshop on Airbnb. Any takers?

If you want to get in the Christmas spirit, head over to Hill Country Galleria for photo ops galore, extended shopping hours, a family fun run, a nightly tree show and more.

In addition to the traditional events, HCG is hosting an exclusive photo shoot with Autism Speaks for children with sensory issues.

It’s time to open your calendar app!

By Way of LA: Lake Travis Resident Alison Watters Gives Back with Gratitude

Written by |

When it comes to giving back to the Lake Travis community, Alison Watters proves you don’t have to be from Texas to live local and give locally. This Los Angeles transplant hit the ground running when she and her family moved to Lakeway in 2014, and she hasn’t slowed down for a minute. She might sit down for an early-morning cup of coffee, but maybe not …

If Ali looks familiar, that’s because you’ve seen her smiling face at CC4C (Cheyanna’s Champions 4 Children) fun runs at Hill Country Galleria or perhaps at Lakeway Elementary fundraisers a few years ago. Whether she’s running a registration table in tennis shoes or an evening gown, Ali’s mantra is gratitude makes us joyful.

In the spirit of the holiday season, we’d like to share Ali’s story of philanthropy, because it serves as a reminder that charity starts in the heart. We all have life experiences that shape who we are today. For Ali, she knew a long time ago that helping people was just part of her DNA.
