It’s Friday June 12th

And born on this date in 1924, the 41st President, and the 43rd Vice President of the United States - George H. W. Bush.   It was also on this date in 1987 President Roland Reagan said:  Mr. Gorbachev Tear Down This Wall

And some great leaders in Boerne were also born on this date.  Happy Birthday Kendall County Judge Kirsten Cohoon, Pastor Pete Johnson, Karen Hughes, Dana Mathews - she’s the better half of Tommy Mathews over at the Tusculum, and Mari Nasis.  If you know one or some, let them know you heard it was their birthday on Boerne Radio!

Just a quick reminder this Sunday is Flag Day - but everyday is Flag Day on Boerne Radio.  In honor of our 250th Anniversary we’re telling American Flag Stories thanks to FlagHistoryProject.com which is based right here in Boerne led by Pat Craven and Paul Venzor.  The Flag History Project tells the stories of all the flags that have flown in America from the Revolutionary War to the Texas Revolution and more.  In fact they service flags right to your door.  Perfect to display outside your home or in your business that comes with a story for each flag.  You can meet the team at our next Boost Boerne Business event at Riven Rock Ranch next Thursday, and learn more at Flaghistoryproject.com. 

And when you’re walking around Main Plaza for Market Days, always swing by the VFW Post 688 Tent right by the gazebo and thank the men and women for serving.  

They’ll have information on all the services available to veterans and seniors here in Kendall County thanks to the National Veterans Outreach Program, and AACOG.  They will be there from 10 to 2 as a new group of officers begin their new term in office to serve VFW Post 688. 9 new recruits have been chosen, including Paula Wells as Commander relieving Anthony White, well done Sir.  Roger Hankins will take Senior Vice Commander and Lessa Whatmough stepping in as Jr. Vice Commander.

And this is cool…Boerne Radio and Das Festival are looking to crown The Dad of the Year of Boerne.  Nominate the man you know and love and tell us why - the prize is he’ll get to ride in a cool car in the Das Festival Parade with the kids while you sit in VIP seats near me as Boerne Radio Emcees the parade.  Make your nomination when you register for our Father’s Day Contest at BoerneRadio.com.  And did you hear…Miss Constance is being honored as the Grand Marshal who read to generations as your children's librarian and can still be heard every Saturday morning at 7:45 here on Boerne Radio.
