HCA to host month-long campaign
The Hill Country Alliance has announced its first annual Spring Water Revival: a month-long, springtime celebration of water in the Hill Country.
Throughout April, the HCA will dive into the various ways water revives local communities through programming that focuses on education, outreach and action. After ten years hosting the Rainwater Revival — a family-friendly, one-day event — the Hill Country Alliance will be expanding beyond rainwater. The Spring Water Revival will cover all things water — from the Hill Country region’s iconic rivers and swimming holes to the infrastructure bringing water to the kitchen sink.
