It’s the last weekend of 2018! There’s a lot to do in and around the Lake Travis area, and that includes New Year’s Eve celebrations.
It’s hard to believe another year has passed. Next week, we’ll take a look back at the top stories of 2018 and glimpse into the future to see what’s in store for the year ahead.
All of us here at LTL wish you health, happiness, and a few lazy days on the lake in 2019.
