It’s still hot here in Boerne, but September always brings the first inklings of fall. By mid-month, the mornings start to feel a little bit cooler, and the calendar begins filling with concerts, fundraisers, markets, and outdoor fun. Here are some of the biggest events to look forward to this September.
1. Featured Sponsor: Joshua Creek Ranch
September marks a special transition at Joshua Creek Ranch as summer winds down and hunting season begins. The month features the final Summer Fun Shoot on September 4th and the last Summer Steak Nights on September 3, 10, and 17. These evenings combine hand-cut ribeye dinners, Hill Country scenery, and live music for one of the most popular summer traditions in town.
Mid-month, quail season opens at the ranch on September 15, bringing one of the finest wingshooting experiences in the country back to the Hill Country. To learn more about hunts, Fun Shoots, or booking a stay, visit joshuacreek.com or call 830-537-5090.
So for the first thing to do this month, head out to Joshua Creek Ranch!
