It’s Tuesday January 13th.

 

And it was on this date in 1968 that Johnny Cash entered the prison system. And it’s not because he shot a man in Reno - which he didn’t…He brought his band to play for the inmates at California’s Folsom Prison.  When that recording was released, it launched him back into the charts and re-defined his career.

 

You know the expression there is money on the table…. Each year the City of Boerne collects revenue from a tax collected on guest rooms at our local hotels and inns called the Hotel Occupancy Tax or HOT for short and uses the money to reinvest in programs that attract overnight guests.   So if you have a dream to host your own car show, or promotion of the arts, anything that attracts tourists to Boerne as Larry Woods says put heads in beds back in those hotels, now is the time to apply.  The deadline to apply is March 19th and the big Shark Tank style pitch happens in City Hall on April 9th.  All the details on the City of Boerne website but we have a direct link in our news blog at boerneradio.com.

The Boerne Chamber is hosting two ribbon cuttings on Thursday to support local businesses. The first will be at 11:30 for Vacay Vibes Travel by Shonda, that will happen in the Chamber, and the second will be at 1:30 for Edquisitive Montessori of Fair Oaks which is a teaching preschool and day care -  they are located on I-10 just past the Lamborghini showroom.

 

Work has begun on the Old No. 9 trail to replace utility poles from Blanco to Esser Road. Crews will be working from 8am to 3 until next Friday, and large utility trucks will be operating along the trail. At times they may need to cross the No. 9 to complete their work safely, so pedestrians are asked to use caution and remain alert while crews are at work. 

 

Happy Birthday to Missy Ivankovich - she’s the owner of Singing Water Vineyards, Trip Matthews he’s the head brewer at Tusculum Brewing Company on Main Street, also to Gerson Roque, Destiny Rodriguez and Jered Cid…if you see them out and about wish them a happy birthday!
