ROUND TOP NEWS

The Round Top-Carmine Education Foundation presents their annual “Small School, Big Hearts” celebration Saturday, Feb. 1 at the Round Top Rifle Hall. Enjoy a wonderful dinner of brisket, sausage, and all the trimmings. Tickets are $20 for a plate, either dine-in or to-go. Purchase your tickets at rtceducationfoundation. org, or at local banks or school offices. Sponsored tables of 2, 4, 6, or 8 are still available.

Antique & Design Show Round Top’s Winter Antique & Design Show is happening now. If you aren’t a fan of the huge crowds at the Fall and Winter Show, this one is for you. The same great quality items and amazing vendors as the other shows, but with less people. Just like the bigger shows, there are some great featured events including a special tasty treat at Round Top Ranch Antiques. Stop by to enjoy “glogg” (spiced mulled wine), and “aebelskiver” (warm pastry). This European tradition will warm you up while you shop the largest collection of European ropean antiques at the show. Round Top Ranch Antiques is located at 2545 S Hwy 237 in Round Top.
