Written by Todd Hower | March 1, 2018

Happy Thursday, friends!

What’s the latest for Lake Travis?

Springtime is almost here because The Oasis is back with live music every weekend as of March 9th. Yes, you’ll be able to enjoy Lake Travis sunsets in true Live Music Capital of the World style once again. Steiner Ranch Steakhouse kicks off its live music season this weekend.

On Monday, Lake Travis High School students performed mock surgeries using the Da Vinci surgical system sent over from the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Lakeway.

This week, a watercolors exhibit by educator and artist Sue Kemp went on display at the Lakeway City Hall Art Gallery (through April 11). In 2007, Sue’s close-up painting of bluebonnets was chosen for the official “Wildflower Days” poster for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

On Saturday, March 3rd, runners and walkers of all ages are invited to join the 13th Annual Run the Ranch 5K and Kids Fun Run in Steiner Ranch. Enjoy a fun-filled morning of racing, face painting, bounce houses and a vendor fair.

When it’s wine o’clock …

On Thursday, LTL’s Cathy Hale gave us a quick lesson in grapes and geography that explains why our slice of the Texas Hill Country one of the top wine regions in America.
