Today, we are heading to the new Lakeway Story Walk ribbon cutting. According to the Lakeway Parks and Recreation site, here is some background.

“This year, we are thrilled to unveil our new Story Walk Display along the City Hall Trail! These Storywalk boards will feature seasonal displays year-round, offering a mix of holiday celebrations, cultural and historical education, and family-friendly stories. We hope this new addition will enhance your trail experience while providing an engaging and educational opportunity for all.

February Display: Black History Month
From January 31st through February 28th, explore our Black History Month celebration. This display highlights 28 influential Black figures who have profoundly shaped society.”

We are catered by Moonshine of Austin, and our entertainment is Aerosmith.

  6. I am always MORE than impressed by where you live. Perhaps there are many more places around this world where connecting with each other in meaningful and supportive ways is the norm, but you take the time to share. Thank you!

  11. I do enjoy visits to your town on Sundays, John. You have so much going on there.

    Have you read “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”? One heckuva book.

  20. I am having problems posting comments today. Most of them fail to post. I am trying again. Anyway, I think you are doing so many great things in your neighborhood and the photos are great and the menu too. It had a lot of yummy items. I think chicken fried steak is yummy, but it is not healthy. I had it last weekend.
