Just outside the heart of Hutto, a 36-acre green area has been transformed into Hippo Social Club, the community's newest wellness center set to open Oct. 27.

Membership with the club includes access to nature trails, an outdoor gym, sauna, cold plunge and shared workspace area, along with private parties and events.

The grand opening celebration will involve a tour of the campus and gourmet BBQ selections by pit-master and former NFL player Blake Blackmar. Membership information and grand opening tickets can be found online.
