You can vote any day this week thru Friday from 7 to 7 at the Kendall County Courthouse Annex. 

If you’d like to meet our local candidates one last time, there’s a good chance they will be curbside outside the Annex…and a greater chance they will be under their tent because of our wonderful chance to get at least 4 inches of rain this week.

There was a small chlorine leak over the weekend in the 100 block of Deer Trail in the Ranger Creek subdivision. The Boerne Fire Department and Kendall County Sheriff’s Office quickly jumped into action with the help of the San Antonio Fire Department. All affected residents were notified, and the leak was mitigated by midday Saturday. 

The directors for the Hill Country Council for the Arts and the Agricultural Museum paid tribute with a post and story in the Boerne Star announcing the sad passing of Rob Ziegler. Rob was a longtime servant on the Boerne City Council, as well as the treasurer for numerous art organizations.  He was on the Dickens on Main Committee and was there when the Wild Bill Hickok landmark was installed in Main Plaza.  Boerne Radio had the honor of emceeing the final Boerne Beirfest that Rob Ziegler helped organize.  In his honor Rob's wife, Lucy, will be hosting a memorial service for him from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday June 6 at The AgriCultural Museum and Arts Center.
