“The Original Round Top Western Vintage Renegades Fashion Show” held during the Spring Round Top Antique Show at Festival Hill proved to be another successful fundraiser for Round Top Festival Institute.

Proceeds from this spring’s event will again be used to help Festival Hill improve their already amazing gardens and landscaping.
