Pet of the Week

Pete is easy-going and a sensitive guy — sensitive meaning he pays attention. He’s very respectful of other dogs, taking cues and adjusting his play style. Pete is not a pushy or barky dog and he responds really well to verbal praise and correction. Pete is a cattle dog mix, 18 months old and weighs 39 pounds. If you are interested in Pete or any other dog, fill out a WAG adoption application at www.wimberleywagrescue.org or call 512-847-3200. 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

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
