IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, New Braunfels! The weekend has arrived, and there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of it. Whether you're looking for local events, live music, family fun, or something new to explore, we've rounded up plenty of great options for the days ahead.

Scroll down for the highlights we’ve picked out for you, and don’t forget that you can always find even more events on our full calendar on our website.

Some of the best local success stories start small, and Newman & Company is a perfect example.

Founded in 2015 by New Braunfels native Rhi Newman, the business began with a simple vision: combine beauty, wellness, and science to create a more personalized experience for clients. What started in a garage has since grown into one of the most recognized and trusted med spas in the Hill Country.

Now, Newman & Company is preparing for its next exciting chapter with a brand-new 5,400-square-foot location that’s opening very soon on Gruene Road. The expansion marks a major milestone for a locally owned business that has spent the last decade helping clients look and feel their best through advanced aesthetic and wellness treatments.

From injectables and skin rejuvenation to wellness services and personalized care, Newman & Company continues to build its reputation by focusing on results, innovation, and exceptional client experiences.

Every day, thousands of Texans hit the road expecting to arrive safely at their destination. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and in Texas, crashes occur far more often than most people realize.

Whether it's a distracted driver, heavy traffic, or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, a single moment can change everything. That's why it's important to know where to turn if you're ever involved in an accident.

Our partners at The Kyle Law Firm have helped countless Texans understand their rights and navigate the aftermath of a crash. From dealing with insurance companies to exploring your legal options, their team works to make a difficult situation a little less overwhelming.

You can't always control what happens on the road, but you can be prepared with trusted professionals on your side if the unexpected occurs.

If you live in New Braunfels, chances are you've dealt with hard water. From stubborn mineral buildup and cloudy dishes to dry skin, spotty glassware, and appliances that wear out faster than they should, hard water can affect more of your daily life than you realize.

The good news? You don't have to live with it.

For more than 30 years, our partners at Aqua-Man Water Conditioning have been helping Hill Country homeowners improve their water with customized treatment solutions designed specifically for local conditions. Their systems can help reduce mineral buildup, protect plumbing and appliances, improve water quality, and make everyday tasks a little easier.
