The 2022 Sip N' Stroll is in now in the history books, and it shows as a record-breaking year.
According to Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Regina Baker, this year marks the largest number of Sip N' Stroll tickets sold in history! This fact was also felt in many local business receipts for the day.
The festivities of the day concluded with the Annual Lighted Christmas Parade where spectators were dazzled by a processsion of 34 floats.
Ms. Baker noted that this year's Sip N' Stroll and Lighted Christmas Parade was such a huge success because of the great community support and involvement. Many law enforcement also joined in and took part in the parade.
There were nine wineries and four breweries from the Texas Hill Country who participated.
Businesses were decked out with their welcoming Christmas decorations and ready and eager employees to help any who visited their establishments.
The Chamber of Commerce had Parade Float Contests and Business Decorating Contests.
