It’s Wednesday October 16th. 

On this day in Radio History, KDKA in Pittsburgh applied for the first commercial radio license in 1920. It made its debut on November 2nd, announcing the winner of the presidential election that term, Warren G Harding. 

And just so you know, as KDKA is now 104 years old, Bofars Media Group celebrates our first 4 years of Boerne Radio - and here’s to another 100 more.

The City of Boerne has issued a public safety warning about a potential rabid fox in the area. The Boerne Animal Care Service received a phone call regarding a fox that was aggressively approaching animals and acting strange around bags of dirt. A woman was also bitten by a fox yesterday in her yard near School Street and West Cibolo Drive, and authorities believe it is the same fox. In the coming days, stay vigilant with your pets by keeping them inside, secure your chickens, and don’t approach any wildlife, just call Boerne Animal Care Services at 830-249-2456. 

The Kendall County Commissioners Court has officially reinstated the Burn Ban after more than a month with no rain. That means outdoor burning is not permitted, and if you are a welder, you need to make sure you are within code.

Day 1 Bags - a non profit birthed right here in Boerne is holding their Beyond the Bag Campaign next month in honor of National Adoption Month. Day 1 Bags goal is to deliver 1,000 high-quality stuffed animals and dolls to fill the seats of the juror box during their adoption at the courthouse. During the ceremony, children are able to adopt a furry friend of their choice as they themselves are brought into a loving home. Currently they have 900 stuffed animals, but would love to meet their goal before the end of the month. You can donate to Day 1 Bags directly, or you can check out their Amazon wishlist.
