City, county: ‘Be prepared’ worked

While Boerne residents and visitors tell the tales of their 15- or 20-second glimpses of the April 8 total solar eclipse, city and county officials continued to assess the city’s handling of the event.

Larry Woods, Visit Boerne director, told City Council the weather dampened the expected flood of visitors forecast in the days and weeks prior to the eclipse.

“The weather forecast hurt us a little bit,” Woods told council at its April 9 meeting. “We lost quite a few reservations (while) a few were picked up at the last minute.”
