IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. Congrats to Boerne High School for winning in their second playoff game, 42-17. Champion plays tonight, so good luck to them!

It’s a bit quieter weekend before the holiday events hit next week, but there are still some great opportunities for fun around town. Let’s take a look.👇

PLAN YOUR NEW YEARS EVE EARLY

Looking ahead to New Year’s Eve, Joshua Creek Ranch is planning one of the most unique celebrations in the Hill Country — and reservations are officially open.

For those wanting the full experience, the ranch is offering a full day of high-volume driven pheasant shooting (AM, PM, or both), followed by an evening of exceptional dining prepared by JCR Executive Chef Robert Kinnon. Live music by Nick Lawrence sets the tone for a festive night, capped off with a multi-course menu featuring dishes like truffled potato leek soup, seared diver scallops, and bacon-wrapped axis loin.

If you’re not joining the shoot, locals and members can still reserve seats for the New Year’s Eve dinner, which is open to the public and designed for a special night out at one of Boerne’s most celebrated destinations.

This one will fill quickly, so consider this your early heads-up. Call 830-537-5090 to make reservations.

We’ve got a new idea… limited edition, custom Texan ice cube trays from The Boerne Life in partnership with our friends at Roks. We created a protype to see how it looked, and we gotta say, we love it! You put in the Texan inserts, fill the trays with water, freeze them, and the next thing you know you have custom Texan cocktail ice cubes!

So what do you think? Are y’all interested? It would be just in time for Christmas! Let us know your thoughts, and if y’all approve, we’ll get to work!
