It’s finally feeling more like fall in the Lake Travis area. Cooler weather, football season, pumpkin patches and events galore. Yep, October is in full swing in the Texas Hill Country.
Pumpkin season means it’s time for a trip to Sweet Berry Farm in Marble Falls. It’s a ‘Harvest of Fall Fun’ at the farm with all sorts of activities. Check out the Get Out of Town section for more details.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and nobody honors it better than the LT community. The Hill Country Galleria has been hosting fundraising events with more on the horizon. You can still sign up for Pink Rides at RIDE Indoor Cycling. And speaking of RIDE …
On Thursday, Cathy introduced you to your local RIDE studio and shared her experience, as well as helpful tips for anyone interested in this low-impact, high-intensity workout.
In other news …
Did you see the feel-good story about the DPS officer who was diving with Lake Travis Scuba and found a couple’s lost wedding ring in the waters of Lake Travis? Ever wonder what else they find down there? It might surprise you.
Enjoy your weekend, friends!
