🌟 Team Bonding in Austin, Texas! 🌟   The Home Run Inn executive and manager team recently had an unforgettable experience in Austin, where we strengthened bonds and celebrated our shared goals and vision for the future. One of the highlights? A night at Willie Nelson's Private Ranch, Luck Ranch, where we enjoyed a magical evening that truly brought us together.   The night began with a beautiful reception and dinner under the stars, where Chef Ben Runkle transported us back to the wild west with a custom farm-to-table dining experience. Combining the rustic charm of an al fresco meal on Main Street and the deep, artisanal flavors from his top-quality, locally sourced butcher shop, Chef Runkle curated an unforgettable feast. 🌿🥩   But the evening didn’t stop there! After dinner, we headed to the saloon for a private post-dinner show filled with fun, laughter, and team spirit. This retreat was not only about great food and entertainment—it was about recharging, reconnecting, and gearing up for the exciting road ahead.   #TeamBonding #ExecutiveRetreat #AustinTexas #LuckRanch #Leadership #Teamwork #HomeRunInn #Sustainability #FarmToTable #PrivatePerformance
