Headlines:  US Declares War On Spain in 1898 / BISD Earns “A” Rating in Texas / Corvette Show on Main Street / Wild Game Dinner Saturday Night / Pat Benatar Contest Winner

It’s Friday - April 25th

And it was on this date in 1898 that the US Congress officially declared war against Spain as Cuba had been fighting for its independence. The war would end in December with the Treaty of Paris in which Spain renounced all claims to Cuba, and gave Guam and Puerto Rico to the US, plus sovereignty over the Philippines for 20 million dollars…that 20 million today can get you a 55 acre ranch out Highway 46. 

The Boerne Independent School District does it again…earning its fourth consecutive "A" rating from the Texas Education Agency.

Superintendent Dr. Kristin Craft was quick to give the credit away saying the achievement is a “team effort” on her staff’s behalf.  Craft said. “Our district is always striving to do more for our students, and being able to share this outcome is so important. She added - quote “We are fortunate to have the greatest teachers for the greatest students.” 

Lots happening this weekend!  Boerne Radio will be hanging out at the Corvette Car Show - swing by our studio in the Richter Building - we’ll record you saying I love Boerne and get you on the radio, and then after that I’ll be your Emcee for the Hill Country  Wild Game Charity Dinner at the Kendall County Youth Ag and Equestrian Center…the all you can eat event starts at 5 - on the menu is shrimp, crawfish, axis, venison chili, seafood gumbo, sausage, bbq chicken…plus the auctions and raffles to raise more money for over 25 worthy charities so come hungry and come generous.

 Hey Congratulations to Adriana Travers Moon from Center Point - she was our big winner of our contest to see Pat Benatar and Niel Geraldo at the Majest plus a pound of fajitas from Rita’s on the River and Ice Cream from Justin’s on the River Walk.  Pat Benatar just announced she and Neil will back in Texas in November as they open up for Bryan Adams.
