Today the City of Bee Cave officially celebrated its 20^th year anniversary of incorporation.  It was August 17^th, 1987 when the citizens convened to create what has become a vibrant, dynamic community boasting services and amenities befitting the scenic beauty of the area and belying the rustic area nestled in the heart of the hill country.  With the new city hall under construction in the center of the Hill Country Galleria, Councilman Chad Bokius and Councilman Steve Braasch unveiled a new plaque (see photo inset below) to commemorate the occasion.  An old fashioned BBQ lunch and watermelon bust was provided to the attendees and meant especially for the Browning Construction crew, who are hard at work on the new facility.
