Getting to know The Grateful Angler

City park to host annual concert series in throughout the month

The Wimberley Valley Chamber of Commerce is submitting this letter to respond to numerous inquiries as to what will become of the current Wimberley Visitor Center after the announcement the City of Wimberley purchased property on Old Kyle Road and proposes to open an additional Visitor Center. The current Wimberley Visitor Center was conveyed to the Wimberley Convention and Visitors Bureau Foundation, a Texas non-profit corporation in September of 2012. That conveyance is subject to certain restrictions and conditions, including that the property must be used as a visitor’s center, and it cannot be sold, transferred or leased.

In order to provide for a fair election this May 6 and beyond, staff, volunteers and observers met last month in a mock mini-election to test the county’s voting machines.

Save the date for another free concert presented by the Hill Country Community Band at the Wimberley Community Center, located at 14068 RR 12.

Texan tennis has enjoyed success. They are the reigning state champions in team tennis from this past fall with the Texan’s district producing either the state champion or runner up since as far back as 2015. Last year’s spring state championship in boys doubles was a battle between two Wimberley teams for the second year in a row and the mixed doubles team made it to the final four at the state tournament. Success breeds within the program.

Wimberley High School’s Lady Texan soccer has been successful. Playoffs are now expected as are seeding in the top couple of spots from one of the toughest 4A districts in the state.

Wimberley High School’s Texan baseball entered the spring with high hopes for a good run in district and a dream for a championship. Now, both seem like a distant memory.

Wimberley’s Texan softball (1-2 district) closed out the first half of their district season last week. The first half has been difficult as the ladies won the opening district contest versus Canyon Lake in dramatic fashion then falling in the subsequent games to both Bandera and Fredericksburg. They would get an opportunity to draw their record even against Davenport in Garden Ridge last Tuesday.
