IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. Before we take a look back at the week, we want to wish all you Boerne moms a happy Mother’s Day. We hope you have a special day!

Okay, let’s take a look back at the week.

BRADY’S AUTO REPAIR & DIESEL HAS BEEN QUIETLY BUILDING A STRONG REPUTATION HERE FOR YEARS

If you’ve got a diesel truck, our partners at Brady’s Auto Repair & Diesel have dedicated technicians focused specifically on diesel repairs and service. They have two diesel techs with more than 30 years of experience each working on everything from diagnostics and fuel systems to turbo repairs, maintenance, and larger engine jobs.

Brady’s has been serving Boerne for more than 26 years, but because they’re tucked back off North Main on Market Ave, you might not realize they’re there.

They’re also a AAA-approved facility, all technicians are ASE certified, and they back their work with a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty.

225 Market Ave., Boerne, TX

Still trying to lock in Mother’s Day brunch? A few places around Boerne may still have reservations available if you move fast enough. Learn more

Twelve to Twelve now has tacos right outside thanks to the new Taco ’Bout Us food truck, officially open next to the speakeasy at 1491 S Main. Even better? It’s run by the former chef from The Creek, so expectations are already pretty high.

8. Watch A Massive Bee Removal In Boerne

A huge honeybee hive hidden inside an oak tree near City Park had to be carefully removed and relocated. The behind-the-scenes photos and videos are honestly pretty fascinating. Learn more

9. New Pop-Up Market Open Downtown

A new pop-up market is taking over the old Pearl Antlers space on Main Street for the next week. Expect home décor, furniture, handmade goods, and plenty of reasons to wander through downtown. Learn more

10. Fairy Tale Court Cases Took Over The Courthouse

11. New Mural Added At River Road Park

River Road Park now has Boerne’s first mural inside a public park thanks to the Boerne Garden Club. It’s already turning into a new little photo spot around town. They aren’t quite finished, but will be soon! Learn more

First Saturday on Main returns next month with late-night shopping, live music, special deals, and plenty of activity along the Hill Country Mile. Local shops, restaurants, and breweries will stay open late, making it a fun excuse to spend a Saturday evening downtown.

A lot of buyers are still holding off because they think they need a huge down payment, but that’s not actually what most people are doing. The average first-time homebuyer puts down closer to 10%, and depending on the loan type, some buyers qualify with as little as 3.5% or even 0% down.

That old 20% myth keeps a lot of people stuck on the sidelines longer than they need to be. Our partner Charley Wasson with Sunflower Real Estate can help walk you through what’s actually possible and connect you with the right resources to better understand your options.
