Hi Neighbors!
In addition to your usual roundup of local happenings this week, we’ve added a full list of the best Independence Day events coming up. Fireworks, parades, live music—everything you need to plan ahead for a fun (and very festive) Fourth.
Folks around here always go big for the 4th of July, and it shows. I’ve lived in a lot of places, and Texas really does it bigger and better than anywhere else. Proud to call this place home!
In today’s Scoop:
💍 Leander’s hidden gem (literally)
🚲 Where Liberty Hill rides
🎇 Big week, tiny art, huge fun
301 US-183 UNIT A, Leander
This family-owned shop nails the sweet spot: real craftsmanship and custom pieces that feel personal. Whether you're redesigning a family heirloom or picking out the perfect ring, Shadan and his team make it easy with no pressure, just thoughtful guidance and beautiful work.
They’ve built a quiet reputation for fair prices, honest advice, and jewelry that means something. From quick repairs to once-in-a-lifetime pieces, Leander Jewelry’s definitely worth checking out!
15399 W State Hwy 29 #104, Liberty Hill
Tucked into downtown Liberty Hill, Freedom Bikes is the kind of old-school, family-run bike shop that feels like a community cornerstone. Steve and Janelle Smith run the place with heart, know-how, and a knack for transforming bikes into road-ready machines.
Whether it's tuning up a well-loved ride or tricking out a starter Hiland with RockShox, locals rave about the honest service, fair pricing, and warm vibe.
Just had to shout out Cotton Candy Cowgirls for making my daughter's 4th birthday extra special! We had Buc-ee's themed party, and they went above and beyond and even made the cutest customized menu.
The cotton candy was not only adorable but SO delicious, and it quickly became the highlight of the party and everyone was talking about it. I'll definitely be using them again for all my parties in the future!
I love supporting neighbors / Santa Rita owned businesses and can't recommend this one more! If you want to add the best touch to your event or kids party definitely contact them!
