York leaves legacy in 24 years at WISD

York leaves legacy in 24 years at WISD

For Dwain York, you might say the gravitational pull towards education was strong. It began teaching mathematics and coaching football in the high plains of West Texas and eastern New Mexico, made a short detour through the Permian Basin oilfields, and took root 25 years ago in the Wimberley Valley. 06/09/2022 12:00 AM

$273,900 grant to fix Blue Hole trails

$273,900 grant to fix Blue Hole trails

When Blue Hole Regional Park was originally constructed, the trail that winds through the park was not properly graded the larger slopes. That, combined with decomposed granite laid on top of weed barrier cloth, has caused severe washout to portions of the trail during heavier rain events. 06/09/2022 12:00 AM

GumboFest cooks up fun, funding for Barnabas

GumboFest cooks up fun, funding for Barnabas

Wimberley GumboFest ‘22 took place at Cypress Falls Swimming Hole in Woodcreek. The fourth annual event drew competition cookers from Texas and Louisiana, as well as over 600 hungry festival-goers from across the state. Thirteen teams submitted entries of the famous Cajun dish known for its difficulty to master. Chicken, sausage, seafood, duck and even rabbit gumbos were painstakingly prepared onsite early in the morning to be tasted by the seven highly experienced judges. In the end, Erin Morgan, of Drifts on the Bayou cook team, took home the first place trophy, with Mark Jones, of Cookin’ with Scrapps, and Kyle Durand, of Bayou Kyle’s Crawfish Crew, placing second and third respectively. Jones was the first place winner of the inaugural WCCA gumbo cookoff in 2019. 06/02/2022 12:00 AM

Market Days beats the heat

Market Days beats the heat

A terrific way to beat the heat this Saturday is to attend Wimberley Market Day on June 4. Why swelter in the heat doing work around the house when you can come to the beautiful and tree-covered Market Day Lions Field and shop outdoors in the shade? All of the shopping, eating and drinking is outdoors, so you will enjoy the gentle summer breeze. And don’t forget that there are always ten concessions nearby where you can get your soft drinks, a cool beer, sangria and your favorite wine. It’s the Wimberley Way to beat the rising temperatures of summer. 06/02/2022 12:00 AM
