SPICEWOOD Light Up the Holidays with a Day Trip to Johnson City The twinkliest town in the Hill Country is a perfect destination for a holiday tour of lights with family and friends. Located in the heart of the Hill Country, Johnson City has activities for all ages to enjoy. During the day, light up your imagination with a visit to the Science Mill, a science museum housed in Johnson City’s historic 1880s mill. Run your hands through the 3D topographic sandbox to create colorful rivers, mountains, lakes and dams. Enter the Fractalarium to experience a larger-than-life lighted representation of Romensco broccoli and see how fractals are a marvel of nature. Explore the Silo of McKays, a multidimensional art installation combining art and science with light, sound, rhythm, balance, color and harmony. The Science Mill’s 40+ hands-on exhibits (and current 3D movie, Wonders of the Arctic) will engage all ages. The Science Mill is located at 101 S. Lady Bird Lane in Johnson City, TX and will be open extended hours during the holidays. Find more information at www.sciencemill.org. Johnson City’s annual Lights Spectacular celebration, celebrating is 28th year, runs Friday, Nov. 24 through New Year’s Day, starting with the spectacular courthouse lighting ceremony and fireworks. The whole town glows, from the Blanco County Courthouse to the dazzling display of light-wrapped trees at Pedernales Electric Cooperative’s headquarters, to candlelight tours of Lyndon

Baines Johnson’s boyhood home. Visitors can enjoy the lighting extravaganza by foot or by horse-drawn carriage, and local retailers and art galleries offer extended hours, food and music on the town square during the Spectacular. The event is free and pet friendly. For more information about Johnson City and the Lights Spectacular visit the Johnson City Chamber of Commerce website at www.johnsoncitytexas.info.

SPICEWOOD (Continued from Page 8) that is reflected in the Rotary 4-Way Test. Adopted by Rotary International in 1943, the 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages. This simple philosophy and code consists of the following: Of the things we think, say and do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? The motto of Rotary is “Service Above Self ”. The Lakeway/ Lake Travis Rotary Club meets every Thursday (except first Thursdays) from noon to 1:00 pm at the High Five Bowling, 1502 RR 620 South, Lakeway, TX 78734, and the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 7:30am at Mimi’s Café @ 12613 Galleria Circle, Bee Cave, Texas 78738.
