Caption:  Visit Boerne’s Larry Woods Announces Retirement

It’s Tuesday March 17th. 

And it’s Saint Patrick’s Day!

And while we think of an Irish guy who rid Ireland of snakes and taught the trinity with a shamrock...the true story is that he was the son of senator and deacon growing up in Britain who was kidnapped by pirates who took him to Ireland as a teenager and used him as a slave.  It was there he found God, which led to his devine escape.  In his 20s he became a priest and felt the call from a dream to return to Ireland as a missionary.

And happy 70th wedding anniversary to Jim and Mary Beatty of Boerne.  You can hear my delightful interview with this sweet couple on our podcast page at boerneradio.com

After 17 years of helping introduce the world to our city, Visit Boerne's Director, Larry Woods, is officially retiring at the end of this month.Visit Boerne is the City’s destination marketing department, which advertises Boerne as a tourist destination and is entirely funded by hotel occupancy tax revenue. The sales tax generated from these visitors allows Boerne to buy more fire trucks, hire more police officers, invest in parks and enhance our quality of life. Larry’s career spans 57 years, with highlights including helping bring a full service hotel to Boerne-the Bevy- and winning the Marion Szurek Leadership award. Larry plans to stay active in the field through consulting and mentoring while enjoying the place he’s spent so long telling everyone about.

For our Fair Oaks Folks, Cibolo Creek Bridge will be reduced to one lane under two-way traffic control. The planned work during this time will consist of milling the existing pavement and placing the overlay…operations are expected to occur from 8 to 5 until Friday. Expect delays and drive carefully in the zone.
