Round Rock Honey Heads to Bullock Texas State History Museum Store

Round Rock Honey is on it’s way to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum Store on December 12, just in time for the holidays.  Round Rock Honey—wildly popular ever since its debut at the farmers market in downtown Austin in 2003—is 100 percent pure raw wildflower honey harvested and bottled with an unmatched focus on quality, taste, and authenticity.  Its only fitting that one of the state’s beloved treasures—a staple at the Texas Governor’s Mansion for the past three administrations and at the White House for the past two—will be at the store of the museum whose mission is to “interpret the continually unfolding story of Texas.”

 

Round Rock Honey owners Konrad and Elizabeth Bouffard have spent more than a decade raising awareness about bees and producing great-tasting honey.

“Each batch of Round Rock Honey starts with the potential to be chaotic in flavor, without unity,” said Konrad Bouffard. “It’s like an orchestra tuning up—each instrument doing its own thing until the conductor comes onstage. My job is to know when and how to add honey from a particular set of hives with honey we have harvested from other yards.”

Different plants become different flavors in the honey, and Bouffard has mastered how to blend it all together with unrivaled results.

But taste isn’t the only thing that sets Round Rock Honey apart from other local and national brands. Early on, the Bouffards realized the importance of raising awareness about bees and founded the Round Rock Honey Beekeeping School. In the past 10 years, more than 850,000 people have taken their three-hour class, learning about sustainable beekeeping practices and how bees contribute to our ecosystem. The Bouffards’ appreciation of bees extends to every aspect of Round Rock Honey, which is manifested in their customer relations. “We have shown over and over again that we will earn—not expect but earn—every purchase,” said Bouffard. That level of trust translates to everything from putting their name, address, and phone number on each bottle to answering requests for a pollen analysis and a certificate of authenticity for each batch of honey, which can be traced to individual hives.

Their reputation and high-quality product have fueled the popularity of Round Rock Honey, making it a mainstay in households across the Texas.  Bouffard, who was at the Bullock Texas State History Museum the day it opened, is excited to have their honey sold at the museum’s store. “I love the place,” he said. “It is the museum of Texas.”  Stop by the Bullock Texas State History Museum and visit the store at 1800 Congress Avenue in Austin. Purchase Round Rock Honey online at their Holiday Shop.

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
