The Kingsland/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce will present a $10,000 donation to Packsaddle Elementary School during the Kingsland campus’ Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Tuesday, Dec. 5. The money was raised from ticket sales for the chamber’s first-ever Taste Highland Lakes festival and will go toward purchasing shade to cover the school’s playground.
The chamber will hand over the check at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday at the school, 150 Pioneer Lane. The tree lighting follows at 5:30 p.m.
“We are delighted to have the Kingsland Chamber present the check at our school’s Literacy Night and Tree Lighting,” Principal Jennifer Caropepe said in a media release. “It is the perfect kick-off to the holiday season. This donation is much needed to help provide shade in the area where our students, teachers, and Kingsland residents come to play.”
Taste Highland Lakes, held in October, showcased food, drinks, and vendors from across the region during an evening of fun and live music. The Kingsland Chamber plans to hold another festival in 2024.
