Submitted by Wimberley1 on

From Staff Reports

The EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens is brimming with butterflies.  Not actual butterflies just yet, those will arrive in a couple of weeks in time for the 16th Annual Butterfly Festival, but  rather butterfly art created by thousands of young artists from around the state.  Each year, the EmilyAnn  holds a Butterfly Art Contest in conjunction with the festival.  Students in grades K-12 submit entries which are juried by local artists.  Entries are submitted in two categories, fantasy and realistic. The butterfly chosen as Best in Show is featured on the t-shirt for the next year's festival.

Tower over Wimberley? Cell tower may be built next to Post Office

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

Most people in Wimberley are used to spotty cell phone coverage. It’s one of the hazards of living in a small town, but how far would they be willing to go to improve that coverage?
If it’s up to American Towers, a global company that builds wireless communications infrastructure, a 100-foot-tall cell phone tower will be built next to the Wimberley Post Office.
Locally, many object to the idea. In fact, being able to control the location for cell phone towers is one of the reasons for the city’s incorporation in the first place, according the City Administrator Don Ferguson.

Wimberley cyclist striving to go pro

Submitted by Wimberley1 on

The impression people in Wimberley have of cyclists can easily be summed up with two questions.
“Why is this guy riding in my way?” and “Is he really going to ride up that hill?”
That may quickly change though when locals realize that their community is quickly becoming the hot spot for young riders who are winning state championships left and right. 
Exhibit No. 1: Noah Williams.
