DON’T LET THE RAIN WIN. KEEP YOUR GARAGE IN CONTROL

When the rain rolls in, the last thing you want is your car sitting exposed in the driveway or dealing with a garage door that won’t open when you need it most. A faulty opener, worn-out springs, or slow, unreliable operation can quickly turn into a bigger problem than you expect.

That’s where Precision Garage Door Service comes in. Their team handles everything from smart garage door opener upgrades to spring repairs and full system replacements, helping homeowners keep their garages running smoothly year-round. Fast, reliable service means you’re not stuck waiting around when the weather turns.

THE BOERNE BUZZ

THIS HILL COUNTRY BBQ SPOT IS A WEEKEND MUST-TRY… BUT IT SELLS OUT*

Black Board BAR B Q in Sisterdale is a short drive from Boerne and known for classic Texas BBQ like brisket, ribs, and burnt ends that keep locals coming back. With burger nights on Thursdays and full BBQ service Friday through Sunday, it’s an easy weekend stop for great food and Hill Country flavor. That said, we recommend you head out to lunch early, because they are known to sell out. Explore the details

BOERNE BOWLING ALLEY EXPANDS SUMMER HOURS

Starting June 15, Boerne Turn Verein is expanding its open bowling schedule to include more nights each week, giving locals more chances to hit the lanes. Even with league play, afternoon open bowling windows will still be available throughout the summer. Take a look here

ELVIS IS TAKING OVER MARKET DAYS THIS SUNDAY

Boerne Market Days this Sunday will feature a live Elvis tribute performance from 12 pm to 3 pm at Main Plaza alongside more than 100 local vendors. It’s a free, family- and dog-friendly event combining shopping, entertainment, and downtown energy in one afternoon. See event details

GREAT FOOD, GREAT COMPANY, GREAT NIGHT AT INDULGE WINE BAR

We had a great time at the Boerne Chamber of Commerce mixer hosted at Indulge Wine Bar at 21 Truss Dr, and it’s easy to see why this spot is becoming a local favorite. From a welcoming atmosphere to solid food and drinks, it’s the kind of place that fits perfectly into a relaxed night out on the east side of town.

If you haven’t stopped by yet, it’s worth a visit for good food, drinks, and an easygoing vibe right here in Boerne.

FARMYARD WIZARDS BRINGS MAGIC SHOW TO HERFF FARM

Herff Farm is kicking off summer with one of its biggest Nature Makers events yet: Farmyard Wizards on June 13. Kids will plant “magic beans” to take home, learn about the plant life cycle, and enjoy a mix of hands-on nature activities throughout the Teaching Gardens.

The event will also feature a professional magician along with performances from young local magicians, creating a fun blend of science, storytelling, and a little bit of wonder across the farm.

PET SHOP BUILDING DEMO APPROVAL PAUSE

According to The Boerne Star, the future of the building that houses Red Crest Pet Shop and Boerne Grooming isn't settled just yet.

After the Historical Landmark Commission voted 3-3 on a demolition request earlier this month, many believed the tie vote cleared the way for demolition. According to city officials, that's not the case.

Following a legal review, the City of Boerne determined a tie vote does not constitute approval under the city's development code. As a result, the demolition permit has not been approved and the matter could return to the Historical Landmark Commission on July 7.

The building at 305-323 N. Main Street is part of a proposed redevelopment project known as Park Plaza, which would replace the existing structure with a new two-story retail building. Any future development will also require City Council approval. You can read more about it here.
