After going virtual last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Designer Purse Bingo will return to an inperson format with a Saturday, May 1, event at the Live Oak Lawn & Pavilion at the Horseshoe Bay Resort, 200 Hi Circle North.

One of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the Hill Country Children’s Advocacy Center (HCCAC) is always Rifles Racks & Deer Tracks. Organizers hope that while this year’s event may be different than those in the past, it still can bring in the “big bucks” needed to continue the agency’s mission — protecting child victims of physical and sexual abuse.

CAHFC recently donated $100,000 to Burnet County to be distributed to 12 non-profit organizations which serve the community.
