It’s Tuesday December 9th.

 

If you have Houston roots you know about Mattress Mack - besides running his successful furniture store, he’s well known for giving back when Harvey hit, when Imelda rose, and Hurricane Beryl hit Houston in 2024…well now he’s coming to the Hill Country this Saturday - more specifically the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department with a ton of mattress for first responders, and our families that live along the Gaudalupe who lost a lot in our own flood back in July. 

Here’s Disaster Relief Coordinator in Kerrville - Sarah Amar with how you can help. 

Audio:  Sarah Amar

For first responders there will be a special line just for you if you’re in need of a new mattress.  If you’d like more information we have a link in the news blog at boerneradio.com - https://www.facebook.com/events/center-point-volunteer-fire-department/disaster-relief-mattress-giveaway/1338682944390642/

 

 This Friday Boerne ISD hosts it’s annual Cookies, Cocoa, & Toy Drive in the Boerne Academy Cafeteria.  Santa will be in the house, there will be students performing all day - choral, strings, bands….all live music from our award-winning Boerne ISD music departments.  Drop off your toys for the Blue Santa programs from 8:30 to 4pm at 235 Lowmann Street. By the way Happy birthday to Yvette Reyna - the Executive Director of Boerne Education Foundation and Boerne ISD Community Partnerships.

 

It’s time of year again when the Natural Resources Office, Fire and Emergency Services conduct a prescribed burn at Camp Bullis.  If you live around Fair Oaks and Dominion, do not panic. The project started yesterday and will go to the 19th from 10am to 6pm…weather permitting. By burning off dead growth and thick brush now, officials hope to reduce the fuel that could feed a dangerous wildfire in the future.

 

Is the 2nd week of the month so that means its Bulky Item and brush collection week - your trash day is the day to put out the big stuff too big for the can.  If it's brush make sure it’s chopped up and tied up.

 

Boerne Radio News is delivered to you by the Boerne Star. 

And by The Guild Collective…do you have that one room in your house you call the cave because it’s just dark…Solatubes are the answer letting in natural light and it’s incredibly affordable…especially now because between now and December 31st with the Federal Tax Credit you get an additional 30% off..2 Solatubes gets you $200 off, 3 gets you $400 off. Call quick at 830-816-3322 - Guildtx.com for the Guild Collective.

It’s Monday December 8th.

 

And born 100 years ago today - the OG Rat Packer Sammy Davis Jr. - Jim Morrison of The Doors born in 1943, and Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band was born in 1947.  And it was on this date in 1980 we lost John Lennon.

Bummer…

In Happier birthday news…look at this all star list here in Boerne…

Happy Birthday to Julie Olsen Smith who runs the Be Local Magazine, Paige Mathews who runs the Tusculum on Main Street, Jason Zamora turns the big 50 over at Live Oak Investors, and Mr. Dennis Blocker - Veteran and author of Dogs I’ve Known In 2 Wars.

 

Two promotions start today on Boerne Radio - one is our 12 Days of Christmas contest. The Day 1 prize is a dozen gourmet tamales from Chilito’s Express plus a trip to the Crumbling Castle - so get signed up today at boerneradio.com, and we introduce the 12 Strays of Christmas where you’ll hear about the Stray of the Day at Boerne Animal Services - thanks to Hill Country Animal League and The Hill Country Animal Emergency Hospital.

Crestmont Christian Preparatory School has officially announced that they will be moving into the Historic Old Boerne High School and City Hall building on Blanco Road for the upcoming 26/27 school year. Not only is this an incredible opportunity for growth for the school, it honors the long standing traditions of Boerne. Congratulations and thank you Crestmont Christian Prep.

If approved by City Hall, Buc-ee's could see a 5.15 acre increase in their zoning to use for employee parking. The planning and zoning commission unanimously agreed to this change, and the council will most likely consider it in the New Year. City staffers also confirmed that the retail giant is fully complying with regulations to reduce nighttime glare from lights under “Dark Sky Provisions”.

 

In a story in the Boerne Star, The City of Fair Oaks Ranch is moving forward with repairing Old Fredericksburg Road, which will cost them a little over $200,000. According to the city’s resolution, The project should begin in March or April, and take about 4 to 6 months. In addition, the City Council Thursday also voted to upgrade public-safety software systems, approve an emergency water-supply agreement, heard an update on a speed-zone change and accepted a donation to spruce up the Police Department.
