The St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church of Boerne Fall Festival has always been one of the most fun, exciting and successful events of the year for our growing community, and this year will be no different, as final preparations are underway for Bringing the Celebration Home! This year’s event promises to be all that and more with new twists that will make this October 1st event one to be remembered by the parish, residents of Boerne, and those in the surrounding area.
Kicking off this year’s event will be the second annual 5K Run/Walk. The participants will tour historic Boerne, beginning and finishing at the Family Life Center on the parish grounds. Registration fee for 5K Run/Walk is $25, and race-day registration will begin at 7:00am. Race start time is 8:00am.
This daylong event will close with nationally recognized Contemporary Christian Recording Artist, Shawn McDonald, performing live and in-concert in the St. Peter The Apostle Catholic Church Sanctuary beginning at 7:30pm. It will be acoustic and inspirational, so everyone will enjoy!! There will also be a meet and greet with Shawn McDonald supported by K-LOVE on campus to support the Hill Country Pregnancy Care Center, tentatively around 4:45 pm in front of the church. K-LOVE will broadcast the info!
The Fall Festival 2011 will also feature children’s entertainment section with rides and games, live entertainment throughout the day, a rummage sale, BBQ Brisket lunch available, various food booths and Bingo.
Participants, family members and friends may enjoy refreshments and take a peak at the soon to be completed “Upper Room”, a multi-use community venue/banquet hall sitting atop our main campus that features the most beautiful sunset views in the Texas Hill Country. The venue will be available for the public to reserve and will serve as an unmatched option for special events such as wedding receptions, reunions, company parties, and anniversaries…just to name a few. This banquet hall holds up to 400 people, with complete kitchen/catering facilities and boasts a beautiful veranda at its entrance.
Come help us as we are Bringing the Celebration Home! For more information on the St. Peter’s Fall Festival 2011, Shawn McDonald concert tickets, and to sign up for the 5K Fun Run/Walk, visitwww.stpetersboerne.com and click on St. Peter’s Fall Festival.

This weeks dinner to pick up will be PASTITIO(Greek baked pasta) $7.50/serving(minimum of 4 servings) and a garden salad with green goddess dressing($2.50/serving). Call 830-331-4151 or email cheflauren@boernecookingcottage.com
Located on the corner of Bandera and Schweppe across from the YMCA in Boerne.
Make a date night for September 23 and take your kids over to Boerne Gymnastics to play while you dine out with your honey! If you are looking for an affordable and fun way to entertain your kids and can’t find a babysitter, why not try taking them to a fun night of open gym, climbing, games, movie, pizza and drinks.
From 6:00-10:30 pm you can drop your kids off while the staff at Boerne Gymnastics entertain and keep your kids safe. Everyone ages 4 and up are welcome. The cost is $25/member and $30/nonmembers. That’s cheaper than hiring a babysitter to come over for 4 hours!! Limited space and you must sign up ahead of time. Contact 830-816-9496 to reserve your spot. Almost sounds like enough fun for me to sign up and go play 
It’s not too late to make plans for a night out on the town TONIGHT!!! Ranch at the Rim western store located at the Rim off of I-10 is hosting their annual fashion show and fundraiser for cancer research. This event is a MUST SEE, MUST ATTEND event! So fun to get all dressed in your cute clothes and a pair of boots, mingle with others while sipping on a glass of wine and enjoying some appetizers. The best
is watching the models strutting the cat walk modeling all the latest fashions from Ranch at the Rim. The coolest part about this event…most of the models are cancer survivors or cancer patients!!! You talk about being “moved” and feeling God’s presence in a room with walking miracles! Come see it to believe it and come support finding a cure for cancer!
The event starts at 6:30 TONIGHT September 15 and tickets can be purchased through Lisa (210) 595-0219. See ya out there!!!
Yummy!!! Have you checked out the latest restaurant in Boerne that is kid friendly? I mean, really kid friendly!! Playgrounds, basketball area and little game machines are all there for your little ones to enjoy while you can grab a healthy meal (or a not so healthy meal). They have a delicious salad bar with all the fixin’s you could want and their grilled chicken sandwich is one I would definitely order again. This is a great place to meet your friends before or after a ball game or on a night that your kitchen might be closed. Located on the south end of Main Street in Boerne. Check it out! Worth going…especially on a night when all kids are hungry and needing to play.

I have been so blessed to find a wonderful preschool for my kiddos that we all love. I could go on and on about how great the teachers are, the activities and the lessons the kids are learning. The one thing I love about the school is that they take the kids on field trips throughout the year.
My son just went on a field trip to our local grocery store. It was both educational and fun. He has mentioned it a few times now since he went last week. He has been pointing out to me which foods are healthy and which ones are not! Gotta love your 5 year old telling it like it is.
It made me realize I need to be better about educating my kids when we are out in public. So many times I am so concerned about getting my errands run or making sure they are behaving that I don’t live in the moment and allow my kids imagination and brains run wild. We frequent the grocery on a weekly basis. How easy would it be to teach them a new food each week and where it comes from? Or show them how the butchers work so hard to have the meats freshly prepared for us and talk to them about where the meats come from. Teach them the difference between a healthy snack vs. a non-healthy snack. Show them the importance of how much things cost and add up so quickly.
The grocery store is a great activity you could take your kids to do without making it your routine trip to the grocery. Take them on a scavenger hunt where they have to find certain healthy food choices, allow them to find foods that start with each letter of the alphabet and write them down, take them to change their coins from their piggy bank into cash and then let them pick out a snack, show them the floral area and teach them different types of flowers God has made. There are endless teaching moments in the grocery that we all frequent too often! Take advantage of spending special time with your kids and enjoy your local food market.
