👉Sprouts Update + Farmers Market Moving

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Happy Friday, Boerne! The weekend is officially here, and we’re ready to celebrate AMERICA. Just a quick reminder: the library, city offices, and the Boerne Chamber will be closed today in advance of the holiday.

We also wanted to take a moment in advance of the weekend to pause and remember the heartbreaking tragedy our neighbors faced last year on July 4th. In the midst of all the celebrations for our nation’s 250th, we will not forget. 💚 With that in mind, it’s a great weekend to go support local businesses in Comfort, CenterPoint, Kerrville, etc. who have struggled in the last year due to hardships from the floods.

Inside Today's Email:

• Sprouts Construction Begins

• Boerne Farmers Market Is Moving

• Pan & Coffee Gets A Drive-Thru

• First Saturdays on Main returns this weekend

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