August 20, 2026

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. Before we get going on your weekend preview, we want to mention that Dinner Club is next week, and sign ups are underway.

If you haven’t been to The Boerne Life Dinner Club, it really is a ton of fun. You get matched up at a table with about 5 new friends at a random restaurant around town.

After a good meal and conversation, you’re invited to meet everyone from all the other restaurants around town at a secret after-party location. It’s a ton of fun. And I’ll be there to greet you all!

So if you’re not sign up, it’s time to grab your ticket! Okay, on to the weekend…

OUR KID GOT A FLASHLIGHT LODGED IN OUR PIPES 

Storytime: Once upon a time, our kid "accidentally" flushed a flashlight down the toilet. We couldn't fish it out, and didn't have the time to pull the toilet off and dig deeper.

We called Olde Town Plumbing, a local, family-owned business with literally hundreds of five star reviews. They came out and handled the entire thing for us, and did a great job.

Olde Town Plumbing did a great job for us, and now they're ready to do a great job for you. Whether you need a toilet fixed, pipes replaced, gas lines repaired... they have your back!

➡️Call them at (830) 446-5227 or visit them on the web here.

The frites are even cooked in avocado oil, adding another thoughtful touch to a dish that’s become a favorite at this tucked-away Boerne restaurant.

THROWBACK THURSDAY

This is what the fountain at Main Plaza used to look like in 1955! Check out this old photo we found in "Boerne: Images of America" by Brent Evans (courtesy of Tillie Fass). This is a look at what the fountain at Main Plaza looked like until it had "sprung a leak" and City Council voted to replace it with what we now have.

The image features Dolores Vargas and Nancy Garcia, with the Dienger Building in the background.

Thanks!

And that’s your Thursday roundup! Hopefully you found a few things worth adding to your calendar.

Have a great day, Boerne, and enjoy everything happening around town!

Until next time,

— Chris
