HILL COUNTRY MILE ROD RUN CANCELED AS WEATHER MOVES IN

The Hill Country Mile Rod Run has been canceled due to incoming weather. The event was scheduled to bring classic cars and visitors to downtown Boerne, but organizers have decided to call it off as conditions approach.

Keep an eye out for any additional updates or announcements from organizers regarding the event.

Those giant red, white, and blue tents covering homes aren’t just eye-catching. They’re part of a structural fumigation process designed to seal an entire building so treatment can reach deep into the wood where drywood termites hide.

Elite Exterminating is one of only a handful of companies in Texas licensed to perform structural fumigation statewide, with more than 35 years of experience protecting homes and buildings across South Texas. With Boerne’s beautiful Hill Country oak trees creating an environment termites love, professional treatment can be an important part of protecting your home.

Back in July, we shared the news that local mother-daughter duo Marie and Chloe Henry were taking over the former Merle Norman + Tiara Tea Parties space on Pecan Street.
Now it’s time to open the doors.

The boutique and salon will offer discount cosmetics, women’s clothing, new and thrifted kids’ clothing, handbags, gifts, stationery, hair services, spray tanning, and more.

It’s been fun watching this little downtown house get its next chapter, and we’re excited to finally see what Marie and Chloe have created inside.
