A Note from the Publisher
September is back to school, back from vaca ons and
back to the daily rou ne. Yes, it is a normalcy, and
some mes monotonous, but never fear, the heat will
dissipate from me to me, the evenings will get
cooler and we will have more me to enjoy all the Hill
Country has to offer.
This picture is a detail of my journey through the
“Ordinary People & Extraordinary Art” photography
series we launched at the J.R. Mooney Galleries,
Boerne loca on to showcase the general public and the
art they like. We provide our readers with a one
sentence summary of why this person likes that
par cular pain ng or art piece. Feel free to stop in at
the gallery and let us know which one is your favorite.
Come out and enjoy!!
PLUMAGE‐TX hopes to use its pages as a vehicle to educate, entertain and enlighten our audience on a variety of topics ranging
from reviews, news, ar st narra ves, interviews, cri cism and a cohort of other art related stories from within the gallery walls to

On the Cover
Met this gentleman in the dark crevices of the
Creek Restaurant in Boerne, Texas. Part Texas,
part taxidermy, part dive bar aesthe c, this
charmer was a glorious sight to see as you tuck
yourself into the side bar area across from the
fine dining . I was enamored by his large antlers,
his listless smile, his pouty demeanor and his
bedroom eyes. Yes, he had me at hello. Gree ng
everyone who walks by, you are ever so blessed if
you are indeed the few who make his
acquaintance. The dayglow and neon bar lights
add a “Roxanne you don’t have to put on the red
light” kind of feel. Be sure to check him out one
day as you sit down for a wonderful meal.

An analysis of “El Cas llo en Reflejos, Catalonia, Spain”
by Jose Vives‐Atsara
Gabriel Diego Delgado
“El Cas llo en Reflejos, Catalonia, Spain”, by Jose Vives‐Atsara is a prime example of a pain ng that makes
you hesitate, to stop in your tracks and take a second glance; a visual shillyshally encompassed by a harm‐
lessly dominant watery mirror‐image in a ghostly gestalt. This oil painted existen al echo coerces you to
ponder your existence (well, not quite), but Vives‐Atsara does force you to reevaluate what we know about
composi on in the tradi onal landscape pain ng genre.
16 / PLUME‐TX Magazine Reviews/ Commentary/ Exhibi ons/ News/ Events, September 2015
Yes, this vintage pain ng (circa 1963) of a castle in Catalonia, Spain, is formulated in a way that breaks
the mold of composi on in the tradi onal sense of an impressionis c pain ng. Many ques ons come to
mind when evalua ng “El Cas llo en Reflejos”. First of all, our brain says, “Hey! Wait! Which way is up?”
We ins nc vely fight to resist the awkward art museum cliché of turning our head sideways to help us
formulate those internal thoughts. In our ability to comprehend contemporary art, we begin to suppress
an interior struggle to ques on its validity with an ingrained and primordial self‐doubt ar s c chip on our
mental shoulder.
Ward off that ins nc ve
tempta on to twist your neck
askew so that one of your ears
is up, like a canine. It won’t help
you fathom any more of this
pictorial puzzle as you
unbearably struggle with this
artwork like it is some cryp c
but visual language presented
to you with a seemingly fic onal
and mischievous inten on by an
ar st aimed at sadis cally
avenging art by driving us mad.
When you realize it’s all about
the reflec on in the water, you
have to reestablish the horizon
line, gain your bearing as to
where you are in rela on to the
castle in the foreground. Then,
we begin to calculate the
surrounding. What is the
terrain? Where is the ar st
posi oning us? Is it an impossible perspec ve or just a detail with some ar s c liber es?
Once we perfect our posture we begin to comprehend the whole pain ng is all about the small castle in
the water’s reflec on. It fills us with a queasy ver go, gaunt in the subtle picture plane, like some
painterly echo of mes gone past, an ar s c and historical view of some medieval period, a flash in
history when this structure was vital to the survival of the surrounding area.
Now it’s a cool and calm reflec on in the tranquil waters below, reaching out from some picturesque
grave, a kind of allegory of the John Evere Millais's depic on of Ophelia offering herself to death in the
cold water, floa ng down the stream in a macabre melody of ancestral auras.
“...and we ins nc vely
fight to resist the
awkward art museum
cliché of turning our
head sideways to help
us formulate those
internal thoughts.”

Once ruled by the Crown of Aragon in the Mediterranean and complete with over 600 medieval
fortresses, the autonomous region of Catalonia, Spain is a majes c territory comprised of smaller
provinces that include: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. Jose Vives‐Atsara portrays one of these
numerous castles with painterly inquisi on, giving us an impressionis c reflec on, just enough detail for
curiosity, matched only by a legion of historical prominence.

Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas
M M argie Barker, a painter represented by JR Mooney Galleries, is 81 years ‘young’ and has been
ac vely showing her landscape pain ngs in San Antonio and the Boerne area for almost half a century.
Born Margie Petzoldt in 1934, she spent her early years in Old Washington County in Navasota, Texas.
Since childhood she has always been ar s c, sketching with pencils and coloring, doing embroidery and
crochet. Margie recalls, “I don’t know where it came from, because none of my family does. I’m the only
one who has any real ar s c bent.”
She did not receive any formal art instruc on un l a ending Sam Houston State University in Huntsville,
Texas in 1952‐1956. One of her favorite instructors, a re red illustrator, had encouraged her to diligently
draw. Margie elaborates, “That was one of the things that my instructor did preach ‐ do lots of li le
sketches. And most of them were not complete, some of them I took and put in pen and ink, mostly
because I enjoyed doing it.” At the me, Margie had longed to go into a career of fashion illustra on, and
her primary mediums were watercolor and pen and ink. As an ar st on the yearbook staff, she did
illustra ons of the university buildings for the 1956 Sam Houston Yearbook, “The Alcalde.” Margie Petzoldt
graduated from Sam Houston State Teachers College on August 24th, 1956 with a Bachelor of Science
degree.
A er gradua on, Margie married Bill Barker and the couple moved to McAllen, due to Bill’s acceptance of a
job at Texas A&M University: this is where they had two children and started their family. The couple
eventually se led down in the Helotes area approximately forty years ago a er Bill got offered a job at the
University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. They have called Helotes home ever since, “It’s
such lovely area,” says Margie. In Helotes, she began exploring pain ng the landscape and taking art
lessons when she found the me while caring for her family and home. Love of the landscape began with
art teacher and accomplished landscape painter, Audrey Montgomery, who was a key influence on Margie’s
42/ PLUME‐TX Magazine Reviews/ Commentary/ Exhibi ons/ News/ Events, September 2015
ar s c development. Ms. Montgomery pushed Margie out of her comfort
zone, as her landscape pain ngs were s ll just close up sketches at the me.
Margie explains, “I did not try to do the whole thing; she helped to push me
to do the whole thing.” She also took portraiture lessons with ar st Harold
Gore and had begun working in oils with a local doctor turned ar st/
teacher. “I was working in oils to begin with, but I have a tendency to pat
things to death.
But, I stopped
using the oils for
awhile because I
had a handicapped
grandson, and he
passed away a few
years ago. He was
a love; a lot of work, but he was a love, worth
every bit of the trouble,” Margie recounts. The
me for art became limited for her due to the
necessity to devote a en on and me to care
for his needs as he grew older. The need to work for acrylic also prompted Margie to reinvent herself with
a new applica on of the medium which lent itself to further refining her style. Margie discusses the
factors that prompted her to switch, “I started working with acrylic to make me get more contrast and on
some things you can get a sharper detail. I would lose the sharpness [with oils]. However it’s harder to
get the exact color I want with acrylics because they dry darker....” For viewers seeing Margie’s work for
the first me, they are surprised when it is revealed that they are indeed painted in acrylic, not oil. She
says, “…I’ve gone over my acrylic enough that they would be considered oil, instead of acrylic, because I
have not le much un undone. Part of it is ge ng back a li le bit of the so ness that I’ve felt like I’ve lost.
“I don’t know where it
came from, because none
of my family does. I’m the
only one who has any real
ar s c bent.”
Reviews/ Commentary/ Exhibi ons/ News/ Events, September 2015, PLUME‐TX Magazine / 43
But, of course, I needed to lose some,
ge ng that happy medium is not always
easy.”
Margie has an admirable work ethic and
now “paints just about every day.” The
pain ng process may begin with discerning
a need for a par cular season that is
needed for her inventory. She also refers
to her large library of reference material
that has been amassed over the years.
Margie further details, “I’ve got probably a
couple thousand photographs, I clip out
pictures to add to my knowledge that I
can’t get myself.…” While she has done en
plein aire pain ng, she primarily enjoys
sketching outside to further bolster her
pain ng references. Margie admits that, “I
find that I do be er sketching and then
taking pictures to do the detail work. I do
refer back and use my sketches and use the
knowledge to get the detail and get the
cactus, to get the plants to move back and
get the distance.”
As she spends much me behind the
canvas pain ng the scenery she enjoys,
inspira on is derived from from, “Life in
general… I like ge ng outside… just seeing
what’s out there.” Some beloved locales
that she enjoys pain ng are Lost Maples
State Park, Palo Duro Canyon, the rivers of
the Hill Country and McKintrick Canyon.
Reminiscing back to the mes when her
kids were in school, and she was just
beginning to build her art career; mo vated
by par cipa ng with the River Art Group and
having her work picked up in a couple of
galleries, “It kept me working and dreaming
of what I could do. I would like to make it
be er, make my kids proud of me.”
“...She did not receive any formal
art instruc on un l a ending Sam
Houston State University in
Huntsville, Texas in 1952‐1956. As
an ar st on the yearbook staff, she
did illustra ons of the university
buildings for the 1956 Sam Houston
Yearbook, “The Alcalde.”
44 / PLUME‐TX Magazine Reviews/ Commentary/ Exhibi ons/ News/ Events, September 2015
Now, with more me to
create and par cipate in
shows, Margie doesn’t
miss a beat; when asked
where she gets her
energy from, she states,
“Because I am doing
what I like doing.” She
remains ac ve, as a
regular gallery a endant
at the River Art Gallery in
downtown San Antonio,
o en working once a
month or more. She is
also a member of the
Boerne Professional Ar st’s Associa on, and par cipates in the
Boerne Parade of Ar sts and the Hill Country Invita onal
exhibi ons. She a ends openings at her represen ng gallery at
J.R. Mooney Gallery in Boerne, TX. “I feel like my work is
picking up, so I would like to see where it’d bring me. It’s s ll a
challenge. It’s s ll fun.”
She is s ll working and overcoming challenges in her crea ve
work. Cataract surgery has not slowed her down, while it has
affected her art process, some details have become more
enhanced, “Yet, at a certain distance I can see level; at a certain
distance it just slopes and one end of the picture is larger than
the other.” This has prompted her to be more careful in
evalua ng her pain ngs while they are in process.
A er a life me of pursuing
her crea ve dreams,
Margie lives and embodies
her philosophy to all
aspiring ar sts, “Get out
and draw, work. Just keep
at it, follow your ins ncts.
Do what you love to do.”
Time by the easel and
discipline remain a priority
in her life, as well as the
drive to keep improving,
Reviews/ Commentary/ Exhibi ons/ News/ Events, September 2015, PLUME‐TX Magazine / 45
“I’ve been working on ge ng them [the pain ngs] be er; I’m not too old to learn. I’m working on it.”
Margie will be showing with fi y of her peers in the upcoming Texas Hill Country Invita onal hosted by
the Boerne Associa on of Professional Ar sts. It will take place in the Cana ballroom of St. Peter the
Apostle Catholic Church located in Boerne, TX.

Texas Bouquet
Tribute to Margie Barker’s
Signature Prickly Pear Cactus
Painting Wri en by: Katherine Shevchenko
Lifelong Texas resident ar st Margie Barker simply stuns with this beau ful rendi on of a close‐up view of a
signature flora of south Texas: Opun a engelmannii, also known as the prickly pear cactus. Her skillful
mastery of her medium and cra are on full display. In the foreground we are presented with a prickly pear
that is in full bloom with the details generously rendered, from the slivery needles to the gently cast
shadows underneath them like subtle wisps; the blossoms are delicately so in a profusion of dreamy pastel
pinks and yellows, effluent and alive. Beyond the cactus there are trails between the raw and craggy
vegeta on that readily dot the Texas Hill Country landscape. Due to the amount of me culous
cra smanship present, evident in the carefully rendered organic textures and a en on given to the natural
elements; this true to life composi on emotes the rugged poetry of wild Texas. The paths keep receding
back and leading the eye to venture further beyond, punctuated by the muted greens of the dense clusters
of prickly pear nestled underneath exposed branches. This is the Texas Margie knows and loves, an ode to
the tenacious beauty that ul mately triumphs in its challenging environment.
“Texas Bouquet” is available at J.R. Mooney Galleries in Boerne, Texas. For more selec ons of Margie Barker’s artwork,

-The B.P.A presents the Annual Texas Hill Country Invitational -
By: Gabriel Diego Delgado

he Boerne
Professional Ar st
(BPA) associa on is
gearing up for their
exuberant fall season with
the kick‐off and public
opening of the annual
“Texas Hill Country
Invita onal” (THCI) art
exhibi on and sale at the
Cana Ballroom of St. Peter
the Apostle Catholic
Church on Main Street in
Boerne, Texas ‐October
16th, 17th and 18th. BPA
President, Ed Hall; VP of
Marke ng, Pamela
Gardner and Event Chair,
Nancy Yarbrough were on‐
hand to discuss the latest
news on this much
an cipated art event.
“This is the Premier Art Show in the Hill Country,” says Ed Hall exci ngly. Drawing from a roster of over 50
formal members of the BPA organiza on, the THCI will be chockfull of an eclec c mixture of ar s c
delights
The THCI art exhibi on and sale now in its 13th year, is gaining regional momentum as it evolves, changes
and morphs to fit and accommodate the needs of the ar sts who par cipate in the event.
From a hotel’s conference room, to Ye Kendell Inn to Tapi o Springs Golf Country Club & Resort to The
Dienger Building to St. Peter’s Church, this exhibi on originally started almost 6 years a er the ini al
“Open Studios”/ “Parade of Ar sts” model; an ini a ve put forth by former Boerne Mayor Heath.
“Jay Hester, Bill Scheidt, Sidney Sinclair, and maybe one or two other ar sts have been doing it since the
beginning,” Gardner says. “It has drawn more and more ar sts every year.”
“We have ar sts from Corpus Chris e, Houston, Georgetown, Coastal Bend regions, Killeen, Angleton, and
many more….it’s a state‐wide exhibi on for all our members, it’s in the tle, ‘Texas’”, says Hall.
With over 50 par cipa ng ar sts, The THCI has a wide assortment of genres, aesthe cs and categories of
art for sale. The ar s c diversity includes: jewelry, po ery, pen & ink, pencil drawings, oil pain ngs, acrylic
pain ng, bronze sculptures, photography, watercolor, glass, encaus cs, pastel, clay, digital art, mixed
media, and serigraphy.

This year’s three party juror selec ons are Paula Horner,
current President of the Hill Country Council for the Arts,
and owner of Petland, Boerne; Roberta Buckles, San
Antonio ar st and instructor; and Jim Landers of Landers
Photography in San Antonio. The jurors will be selec ng
winners for 8 categories: oil, acrylic, watercolor, 3‐D, 2‐D,
Dry Media, Photography, and Mixed Media. From these
winners, they will also select a ‘best of the best’ award,
and grant one of the top category victors a “Best of Show”
award; an ar s c acknowledgement that guarantees
admission to next year’s event, bragging rights, and a
trophy, not to men on peer‐to‐peer venera on.
All public a endees will receive a 32 page program that
includes all list of all par cipa ng ar sts, a sample of
their artwork, places for note taking, schedule of daily
events and promo onal for sponsors. As of this prin ng,
6 ar sts have signed up and will be hos ng a series of 45
minute demonstra ons about their artworks. For those
who want to see how these ar sts create their works,
these demos are perfect for public to ar st interac on,
are conducted in small se ngs and free of charge.
“In addi on to the free exhibi on program, the general public will also be able to vote on a People’s Choice
Award,” says Gardner. “Any a endee can vote once on who they think is the best ar st at the event…it’s a
great way for the public to be
involved and shows them that we
appreciate their individual opinions
on the various art styles the BPA
displays.”
“One of the main differences from
last year to this year is the
expanded two day paint‐out
sessions,” says Hall.
As an Oil Painters of America
(OPA) sanc oned event, the ‘Paint‐
Out’ will allow registered ar sts
who are not official members of
the BPA to s ll par cipate in the art sale and exhibi on as part of the ‘Wet Paint’ sale sec on. Spanning
over 48 hours, the paint‐out is actually an en plein aire opportunity for people who want to paint on
loca on and then bring in the final artworks to the THCI event and offer them for sale in the main lobby of

state‐wide exhibi on for all our
members.”

the ballroom.
“Ar st are allowed to hang two pieces for sale and can take 100% of their proceeds from the sale, the BPA
is not asking for any commission for those sales,” says Gardner. “Registered ar sts pay $15.00 for one day
or $25 for two days to par cipate in this year’s ‘Paint‐out’, and have their artwork for sale during this
wonderful art exhibi on and sale. En Plien Aire ar sts will be pain ng outdoors throughout Boerne and its
parks, recrea onal and heritage centers…About 4 years ago we started off with maybe 5 or 6 painters out
and about in Boerne, this year we are hoping for as many as 40 ar sts, up from last year’s 25.”
“Another difference this year that we are super excited about is the addi on of more display panels. We
have added more sec ons to the ar sts’ display area,” says Hall. “More display panels for par cipa ng
ar sts…means more room to show art.”
“Last year’s a endance was around about 700 people over the full three day weekend. This year we expect
800 ‐ 1,000 patrons to come on out and see what the BPA ar sts have to offer. This show is a compila on of
high‐quality and diversified media at affordable prices…and not all of it is western…THCI has figura ve,
landscape, Na ve American, Contemporary, Western, architectural , s ll lifes, florals and country me
nostalgia, as well as a host of various techniques and media.”
With previous years marke ng strategically set in na onal magazines like Southwest Art and American Art
Collector, the BPA Board decided this year to market locally with street banners and signage and local
Reviews/ Commentary/ Exhibi ons/ News/ Events, September 2015, PLUME‐TX Magazine / 53
adver sing. “There is more of an emphasis on the regional
market for this exhibi on,” says Hall. “We are working with
the Boerne CVB as well as the Boerne Chamber of
Commerce to help promote the events. Jennings Anderson
Ford in Boerne and the Dienger Trading Company have
been wonderful financial supporters for the THCI events
over the last few years. They are a great group of people
who unselfishly give to the Boerne community…we are
gracious for people like them. They help the annual BPA art
exhibi on to con nue to showcase the best of what we
(BPA) have to offer.”

October 16 - 18, 2015
Boerne Professional Artists (BPA) will host their premier Art Show & Sale in the Cana Ballroom of St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church on October 16 - 18 of this year. With more than 50 talented artists participating, it will be the largest in the 13-year history of this event. Works of art will include paintings in oils, acrylics, pastels and watercolor; graphite, photography, pottery, jewelry, fused glass, encaustics, reliefs, sculpture and mixed media.
Additionally, featured artists will conduct a series of “how-to” lectures and demonstrations throughout Saturday afternoon.
And, the top three winners of the “Drawn to Animals” Children’s Art Contest will have their artistic efforts on prominent display throughout the three-day event.
The prestigious Oil Painters of America (OPA) has again endorsed BPA’s two full-day En Plein Aire “Paint-Out”, the Wednesday/Thursday prelude to the Invitational. ‘En Plein Aire’ is a French term that translates to ‘open air’, so we’ll be seeing as many as 40 artists at work mid-week in the open air prior to the Invitational. The finished works of the “Paint-Out” artists will be offered in a “Wet Paint” Sale that begins during the opening night preview event in the Ballroom.
And all of this will be held in the heart of Boerne in a most elegant venue with breathtaking northern Hill Country views that is easily accessible with plenty of free parking.

G. Harvey’s “Where Dreams Come True” Giclee, 30” x 40”, $1,870.00 (price includes

The premise behind this mul ‐stacked framing design was all about complimen ng the
image as well as the me era. The rus c ornate wood aesthe c adds dimension to the
western genre while not over powering the overall viewing experience.
The outer wood mo f is complimented by the inner scrolls on the third step. The two
levels of brown add a much needed tradi onal essence as the design elements explore
the linear aspects within the image itself.
The outer moulding (frame) is made by Interna onal Moulding. The inner stack moulding
(frame) is by Presta/Monarch Moulding.
* Although this looks like a four step moulding design, it is actually two mouldings with
built‐in step downs.

The premise behind this mul ‐stacked framing design was all about com‐

The large carved mo f on the outside frame adds a decora ve element to
an otherwise non‐detailed pain ng. With a brushed and speckled inside
step radia ng distressed silver, this outer frame has major elements that
add another level of eye candy to the experience.
The inner frame moulding step adds a certain sophis cated contemporary

The outer moulding (frame) is made by Max Moulding and is part of the

s we round out the second half of the 2015 year, let’s take a look at one of the current interior
design trends affec ng online purchase sales –Animals. Animal print, animal pillows, animal
images, animal collages and a host of other animal related aesthe cs are sweeping the na on for interior
accessory items. Even the Huffington Post has seen a shi in this seemingly 80’s fad.
Huffington writer, Amy Preiser penned a new ar cle tled, The Most Popular Decora ng Ideas in
America. In this post, she states, “Each month, 20 million people visit Polyvore.com to create shop‐able
image collages and discover ‐‐ and set ‐‐ trends. Their data shows that the most‐searched décor trend from
the past six months is animal
accents, led by peacocks and
elephants.”
Now we have to ask ourselves,
“Why the change?”
Well as we know, trends are
cyclical. What is popular in one
genera on or decade does come
back with a contemporary twist
later on. In this case, with the
explosion of hand‐cra ed art
websites of Pinterest inspired
cra ers selling their artsy wares,
we have thousands and
thousands of products to choose
from to add to our unending
collec ons. Search engines
provide more than ample
amounts of relevant finds for
the perfect item to fill the niche. Animals are just the thing to give a playful prose in an eclec c assortment
of interior design concepts. From tradi onal leopard prints to hipster feathers to animal minimalism,
everything is accessible to fill the demand.

Angeles. Dubbing her art the “La Bella Epoque”, or the beau ful era, Kieffer concentrated her efforts on

Kieffer released several print reproduc ons of her artwork; along with a large assortment of original

city life and architecture we saw “hot” thirty years ago, this delicate boulevard has a nuance of European

Value StoriesValue StoriesPorfirio Salinas was born in Bastrop, Texas on November 6, 1910. He lived most of his life in San Antonio,
Texas where he died on April 18, 1973. Salinas a ended the public schools of San Antonio for three years
and was largely self‐taught as an ar st. He learned from watching Jose Arpa, Director of the San Antonio
Art School, sketch in the streets and fields of San Antonio. He also learned from Robert Wood, a prolific
landscape painter, who is rumored to have paid him five dollars a picture to paint in bluebonnets on his
canvases because he hated to paint bluebonnets. Salinas was conscripted and served in the Army from
1943, to 1945. He was assigned to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, where he painted murals for the
officer’s lounge and other special assignments for Colonel Telesphor Go chalk, Recep on Center
Commander. Unique to his situa on as an Army resident ar st, Salinas was allowed to live at home, where
he con nued his easel pain ng for the en re dura on of his tour of duty. Salinas dedicated himself to
pain ng landscapes of Central Texas with par cular a en on to the bluebonnets that grow in abundance
in the spring me. Although Salinas did not receive the a en on of the professional art establishment‐art
galleries and museums, and art cri cs and art historians‐he achieved a popular following among many
Texans as well as the poli cal leaders of Texas and the United States, among them Sam Rayburn and
Lyndon B. Johnson, who began to collect his work in the 1940s. The recogni on of his work beyond the
borders of Texas dates from Johnson's presidency. This popularity allowed Salinas to command high prices

When you are a new family to Boerne, you come to realize that the li le things really do ma er. It sounds like a cliché, but immediately three things become more appreciated: Time with family, ease of travel and access to fun adventures.
‐‐Top 4 Lifestyle Upgrades‐‐
Proximity to EVERYTHING!
From home, the elementary school, all of the restaurants and shops on Main Street, H.E.B. and Wal‐Mart are within 2.5 miles. Walking is an op on here! If you have children, walk to school in the morning and plan to do a walking pick‐up in the fall and spring seasons when the Texas heat is more forgiving.
Casual and Caring Community
Have you ever stopped to count the number of cool things your community has to offer? The list in Boerne starts with family friendly loca ons like Boerne Lake, Patrick Heath Public Library, two City Parks and mul ple neighborhood parks and walking trails, Cibolo Nature Center and a long list of restaurants that have play areas (even a coffee shop that has a small play spot).
Quality of Educa on
Boerne ISD is one of the highest ranking districts in Texas and has na onal recogni on as being one of the top best school districts in the na on. The private schools are quality educa on and can be an op on for families looking for something more specialized, religious, or set apart from public schooling.
112 / PLUME‐TX Magazine Reviews/ Commentary/ Exhibi ons/ News/ Events, September 2015
New to BoerneNew to Boerne
Surrounding Communi es
