Happy Friday, friends!
It’s been a beautiful week in the Lake Travis area with crisp mornings and sunny afternoons. There’s a slight chance of rain in the forecast for the weekend, but that shouldn’t put a damper on your weekend plans.
There are lots of fun events happening in and around the Hill Country, but before we jump ahead, let’s take a quick look back at the week.
Someone scared the bejeezus out of us on Facebook by posting a gif that read, “Just 10 Fridays Until Christmas.” We haven’t even made it through Halloween yet. Noooo!
Speaking of All Hallows’ Eve, did you know there’s a new Spirit Halloween store at Hill Country Galleria?
A Springfree Trampoline pop-up shop is opening at HCG next week. Plus, HCG is celebrating its 10th anniversary on Saturday with a special sidewalk sale leading up to the Saturday Night Concert at 7pm.
Another milestone is happening in the Lakeway area — the 30th anniversary of the famous golf ball water tower. Did you know it was hand-painted by a crew of brave men suspended by ropes? You can read all about it on our Facebook page.
Enjoy your weekend, friends!
