Helotes Neighbors

Hello Neighbors. We are bringing Ladies Night in Old Town Helotes back and we want all of you ladies to come out and have some fun. I'm attaching the information.
* Thursday, October 22nd from 4:00-7:00P
* Participating Old Town merchants will stay open late and offer free sips and small bites while you shop.
* Pick up your "Passport to Old Town Helotes" at registration. Complete the passport visits and be entered into a drawing at the end of the event to win some great prizes from our merchants and area businesses.
* Stay for the after party under the lights in the Old Town courtyard.
* This is a FREE event, so please bring your friends.
*We're also looking for a few sponsors to offset the expenses. This is not an event designed to make money for the host.
COME ON OUT AND SHOP LOCAL!! PLEASE SHARE!!!

Here's a sneak peak of our September issue that will hit mailboxes early next week. It was such an honor to profile a few of the outstanding artists featured in our very own Helotes Gallery. If you haven't been by there in a while, you need to go check out all of the new installations and maybe you'll find the perfect piece of art that speaks to your soul.

Keith is not only the GM but he roasts his own coffee too. He is quite the coffee whisperer. Go by there and say hello. The Cracked Mug Coffee House is THE best coffee shop in Helotes, AND you can enjoy your drinks in the beautifully peaceful outdoor area beneath the heritage live oaks that won't be cut down to make room for chainstore businesses.

☕️ 5 YEARS OF KEITH AT THE CRACKED MUG! ☕️

Five years of early mornings, hot coffee, fresh biscuits, crazy busy days, laughter, hard work, and so much more!

We want to celebrate Keith and the 5 years he has poured into The Cracked Mug—and we want YOU to celebrate with us!

Come see us THIS WEEK, grab your favorite coffee and maybe one of those famous biscuits 😉, and help us give Keith some love!

Drop a 🎉 in the comments to help us celebrate 5 years of Keith!

It's important to support our local businesses. Pizza at 46th Street is so good and they have great lunch specials.

We’re excited to feature the Miss Helotes Scholarship Pageant winners on our June cover! The pageant is one of the most enduring and beloved community traditions in Helotes and this year crowned its 60th court, capping an anniversary milestone that few local institutions can claim. Congratulations to all the winners and a special THANK YOU to Pageant Director Jamie Chisolm Taylor for all her help with this cover story. 🤩
