Events

With more rain in the forecast, this weekend looks like it could be a wet one — come on 681′! But don’t let the wet weather spoil your weekend fun … there are plenty of things to do inside and out — grab your umbrella just in case.

Besides all the live music and events in the Lake Travis area, there are also a couple of indoor events in the big city. If you’re hanging out with the kiddos, I recommend Austin Museum Day on Sunday (a perfect thing to do on a rainy day). For a date day/night, be sure and check out Fantastic Fest going on at the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar.

We enjoy sharing with you a little bit about the history of the Lake Travis area here at LTL.

And if you’re familiar with the areas along Hudson Bend, nearby Steiner Ranch or Lakeway you might already know a bit about the foundation of the settling of our cherished land. Wiley Hudson was the first to purchase several plots here along the lush and abundant banks of the fertile Colorado River.

Then came the New Deal era and with it, Mansfield Dam.

Our beautiful Lake Travis was once a dream of Congressmen, construction workers and settlers, but after the building of the dam the lake became a veritable reality.

The harnessing of hydroelectric power would be able to bring electricity to the area, and with it, economic development. Without it we probably would not be here today.

Remembering all of those affected by the attacks of September 11, 2001, including the fallen firefighters, emergency, and rescue personnel.

And a salute to all of our nation’s servicemen and women who do the jobs that make it possible for us to live the lives we live. Thank you for all you do.

Never Forget.
