Headlines: Buffalo Soldiers Day/ Geoff Daly is our 2025 staycation winner!/ Metro Stop on Esser and Blanco broken into for lottery tickets 

And by our Local Rotary Clubs of Boerne, Fair Oaks, and The Dominion…Boerne Radio encourages you to swing by Las Palapas tomorrow in their efforts to promote awareness for human trafficking and prevention…when you eat in the dining room or go through the drive thru at Las Palapas, tell them you’re there for the Rotary and 20% of your purchase will go to that effort.  We’ll see you at Las Palapas tomorrow!

It’s Monday July 28th. 

And today is Buffalo Soldiers Day…commemorating the formation of the first regular Army regiments composed of African American soldiers in 1866. In 1992, General Colin Powell dedicated a monument to the Buffalo Soldier at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The Buffalo Soldier Museum is in Houston.  In September 6, 2005, the oldest living Buffalo Soldier died. Mark Matthews lived to be 111 years old. For his dedicated service, he was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery.

So remember just last month our friends at the Metro Stop on Esser and Blanco sold that that $5Mill lottery scratch off ticket?

So last Friday 2 dudes killed the power to the building - took a football sized rock and chunked it thru the front door…

Here’s store owner Dillji -

What a couple of goons - the $5Mill ticket is not there…and the tickets are traceable…good luck cashing anything in… The Metro Stop is back on line…they replaced the broken door and now the Boerne Police department is on the case, if it’s not solved already.

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country announced that it had dispersed over 60 million dollars in flood relief funding for the second time. 35 agencies received funding, including the Comfort Volunteer Fire Department and the Comfort Area Foundation. The organization said working with vetted nonprofits already on the ground helps it to move funds to the individuals and families, local businesses, first responders and crisis response efforts that need it the most.

Last Friday the Boerne Police Department was notified by the Bexar County Sheriff's Office of a vehicle pursuit on I-10 West. Once the vehicle crossed City limits, Boerne Police Officers joined the race, and shortly after the car had a blowout and came to a stop near Parkway Drive. The two suspects bailed, but were quickly caught by law enforcement. Both suspects have been arrested, and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
