SEE A LIFETIME MOVIE COME TO LIFE IN BOERNE

Movie magic made a surprise appearance in Boerne this week. While visiting the Boerne Farmers Market, we saw crews filming what we thought was the reality show everyone’s been talking about.

According to a Farmers Market representative, the market was contacted just the day before about serving as a filming location for what is believed to be a Lifetime movie. Details are still limited, but it's an exciting way to kick off the market's new Main Street location—and another reminder that Boerne keeps finding itself in the spotlight.

LOCAL FAMILY NEEDS HELP AFTER LOSING FATHER

Good friends of ours, the Garza family, are facing an incredibly difficult time after the loss of husband and father Heliodoro "Helio" Garza following an eight-year battle with cancer.

A GoFundMe has been created to help cover funeral expenses, outstanding medical bills, and provide financial support as the family adjusts to life without Helio. If you're able, any donation—no matter the amount—can make a meaningful difference. If not, sharing the fundraiser and keeping the Garza family in your thoughts and prayers is another way to help.
