It’s going to be a beautiful weekend in Lake Travis with plenty to do and see.
This month we wrap up the summer, get ready for the school year, and head into the final third of the year, so make the most of it.
On Thursday, Cathy introduced us to new businesses specializing in desserts, coffee, and tunes. It’s the newest craze in the Lake Travis area — Taiwanese snow ice. There’s a new coffee joint featuring in-house fire-roasted beans coming to Four Points, and we’re whistling a tune about Lone Star School of Music’s grand opening in August.
Thanks to the recent rainy weather, Lake Travis is up 1.3 feet and Lake Buchanan is up 8 inches.
It’s Tax-Free Weekend and Hill Country Galleria is hiding $100 gift cards for a Back to School Shopping Treasure Hunt starting at 10am today.
Have fun this weekend, everyone!
