🍋 LEMONADE FOR A CAUSE AT FABRA ELEMENTARY

Fabra Elementary hosted a sweet Hill Country Flood Benefit yesterday, with a lemonade stand run by PTO members, staff, and student volunteers. Every dollar raised will support local first responders helping with flood recovery efforts. Kids also made thank-you posters — a heartfelt touch to honor our heroes. Now that’s The Boerne Life.

Wish we would have known about it earlier so we could have told you about it in the newsletter yesterday! But regardless, we wanted to highlight a cool fundraiser by the kids!

🔥 Burn Ban Lifted in Parts of Kendall County

As of August 5, outdoor burning is allowed in areas of Kendall County that were not impacted by the July 4 flood. The ban remains in effect for all land between the highwater marks of the Guadalupe River and its floodway. Burning is limited to natural materials like trees, grass, and brush, and must follow strict weather and safety conditions. Fires must be out by sunset, and violations carry fines up to $500. Official details here.

 🦫 Residents Express Concern Over Buc-ee’s at Planning and Zoning Meeting

At the August 4 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, Buc-ee’s wasn’t on the official agenda—but that didn’t stop residents from sharing strong concerns during the public comment period. One speaker voiced unease about the scale of the proposed development, raising issues like traffic, light pollution, safety, and the broader environmental impact. The resident emphasized Boerne’s dark sky values and cautioned that an influx of jobs could draw employees away from small local businesses.

Buc-ee’s approval for rezoning to add more parking was expected last month but was postponed. It still hasn’t returned to the agenda, and visible work at the site appears to have stalled. While it’s been nearly a decade since the Buc-ee’s in Boerne was first announced, the project has faced multiple delays. The City continues to invite public input as community members express mixed reactions to how such a large-scale development might affect Boerne’s character.
