A big KBEY Kiss to Marble Falls Chamber Director and one of KBEY’s favorite guests, Bill Rives, for filling us in on all upcoming fun activities!

First and foremost, there’s the LakeFest boat races slated for Aug. 9-11. This year is expected to be bigger and better than ever, with about 150 boats expected. That’s around 30 more boats than competed last year.

And there’s more!

Rives also told us about the paver and sculpture dedication this coming Sunday at 4:30 p.m. at the Chamber’s new Visitor’s Center. The pavers were purchased during the building of the Visitor Center, and will be laid in special areas outside the building on Sunday. They also will be dedicating a sculpture created by Father Lopez of St. John’s Catholic Church in Marble Falls made from scraps from the old 281 bridge.

Marble Falls Independant School District’s New Staff Welcome Breakfast is set for Tuesday, Aug. 13. You still have time to become a “Chamber Buddy” to “adopt” a new teacher during the breakfast. It’s a great way to meet the new staff and promote your business and Marble Falls as well.
