🎂 BOERNE BIRTHDAYS: KELLI HULL & DAVID ROSTOMIAN

It’s Tuesday August 18th. 

And before Amazon.com, the first mail order catalog was published on this date in 1872…154 years ago today…  Mr. Montgomery Ward put together 163 items on a single sheet of paper and included a money-back guarantee.  Montgomery Ward became a leading department store chain that operated up until 2001 and is now online at wards.com 

And just a couple of birthdays to announce today, Happy Birthday Kelli Hull, and David Rostomian over at Apex Healthcare.

I’m Baron Wiley.

The Little League World Series officially begins tomorrow in Williamsport.

Boerne represents the Southwest Region and received a first-round bye.

Their first game is Friday at 2 o’clock at Lamade Stadium against the winner of tomorrow’s Northwest-versus-Southeast matchup.  Boerne Radio is working on carrying every Boerne game on Boerne Radio but there’s a price we need to pay to carry each game.  If your business is interested in helping us bring you those games please call me at 844-830-1039.  Thanks in advance to the Postiglione Law here in Boerne.

The Boerne Community Theatre is starting their run of “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown” this Friday through September 6th, but they have a special sensory friendly performance set for next Thursday. The special showing is sponsored by the Autism Community network, allowing all of the tickets to be free. The production includes brighter house lights, reduced volume, a quiet space with sensory tools and a relaxed atmosphere where audience members can move or step out as needed. For reservations to the show, you can call the box office at 830-249-9166. 

The Boerne Chamber of Commerce has a couple of ribbon cuttings this week, including one celebrating the 10th anniversary of our friends at Clearview Bookkeeping tomorrow at 11:30.  And Monkee’s of Fair Oaks is hosting their grand opening on Thursday at 9:30.

On your to do list for today is pop on to Boerneradio.com - find the link to vote for Boerne to be Hallmark’s Merriest Christmas Town Contest although there’s a trend for Old School Boerne-ites to hop on the site and vote for other cities and I respect that…and also consider voting for my wife Shan and I in our hunt for America’s favorite couple - I know, how sick right? - the contest started off with 150,000 contestants, and we now find ourselves in the quarter finals - 15 in our group now - with 3000 other quarter finalists.  Again all those links are at boerneradio.com.

Boerne Radio News is delivered to you by The Boerne Star

And by The Boerne Backyard, the host of our next free Boost Boerne Business Networking event this Thursday from 4-6pm and we’re asking you to bring school supplies for Comfort ISD.  And you'll learn about the Empowered Partner Program where businesses are safe zones for Boerne Students.  Boerneradio.com.
