We know this rainy weather has got some of you feeling blue, tweeting out, “What is this!? Seattle?” But the good news is all of our lakes are filling up just in time for summer fun.
The rest of May is a busy and exciting month with college graduation right around the corner, LTYA baseball playoffs in full swing and the last day of school quickly approaching. Making summer plans for the kiddos is easy with our 2-part Summer Camp Series where we cover Art, Dance & Theater and Science, Hobbies & Sports in the Lake Travis area.
This weekend is buzzing with events like the Grand Opening of The Grove at Steiner Ranch Community, a Fine Arts Show in Lakeway and live music throughout the Hill Country. You can get crafty with local artisans at the Renegade Craft Fair or celebrate Craft Beer Week with a cold brew. Mmm, beer.
Whatever you decide to do, pack an umbrella and have a great weekend!
