👉Music on the Mile, Lemonade Day & More This Weekend

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. This is The Boerne Life, the newsletter that apparently sent the wrong survey link yesterday. Coulda swore it was working when we checked it. 🤔

So if you would, click this link and make sure to let the City of Boerne know you get your news from The Boerne Life while you give other input about the library.

And in return, we will tell you all about what you can expect from this busy weekend! 😁 There’s Music on the Mile, Lemonade Day, Garden Club Sale, Fire Department Open House, and so much more.

Sound good? Let’s get to it!

ELECTION DAY IS THIS SATURDAY

Don’t Forget to Go Vote

I hate to say this, but early voting turnout for this weekend’s election was pretty dang low. But it’s not too late to go vote. Head to City Hall on Saturday from 7 am to 7 pm and make your voice heard!

If you live in Fair Oaks, you’ll be voting over at Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department.

Remember, not only are you voting for mayor, city council, and school board, but also for Prop A to decide whether mayoral and council terms should increase from two to three years.

So show up Boerne - let’s pump up those numbers!

Thanks!

Thanks for reading The Boerne Life today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Please, share with your friends!

Until next time,

— Chris
