👉Valentine’s Dining + Library of Things

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. Happy National Umbrella Day. In case you forgot, an umbrella is a thing we use to shield ourselves from a thing called rain, which is a phenomenon where water falls from the sky.

Here’s what we have for you today:

• A roundup of Valentine’s dinner specials still taking reservations

• Fair Oaks Ranch earning a top safety ranking statewide

• A bold Sunday deal that beer lovers will want on their calendar

• Library of Things at… the Library

And a whole lot more. Let’s get into it!

AND THE ANSWER IS… 🥁

England! Dr. W.G. Kingsbury played a major role in shaping early Boerne by attracting English immigrants to the area. A writer, speaker, and signer of the 1859 petition to form Kendall County, he also worked to bring the railroad to town. After purchasing land along Menger Creek in 1853, he helped prepare new settlers for frontier life by teaching them how to build homes and walls using local limestone. The English immigrants he recruited introduced new sports like cricket and polo to Boerne. Kingsbury, a Mexican War veteran, died in 1896 and is buried in Boerne Cemetery.

Thanks!
