FATHER’S DAY, June 20, when fathers are honored by their children, was first observed in 1908 to complement Mother’s Day. After a sporadic history, President Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation in 1966 designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national holiday when he signed it into law.
PIPE CREEK GENERAL STORE & DANCE HALL will host their first Pipe Creek Market Day Fiesta on Saturday, June 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Located at 9878 Hwy. 16S in Pipe Creek, it will feature food, fun, shopping and live entertainment by Billie Jo Music & Kadence Beckett.
AMERICAN LEGION POST 410, 147 Legion Dr. in Lakehills, will hold the Independence Day Parade and Barbecue on Saturday, July 3.
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at St. Victor’s Chapel on PR 37. To apply for a free, marching or float entry call Doug at 830-212-9030.
The barbecue will start serving at noon, right after the parade, and will include chicken and sausage, with all the sides. Desserts will be available.
The gazebo will feature live band music starting at 1 p.m.
The Post is selling raffle tickets for the Gun Raffle and the Brick Doll House, drawings to be held during the barbecue. Tickets for the Doll House are $2 each or 3 for $5 and you do not have to be present to win.
The Post serves home cooked meals every Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m. Each week offers a different dish, with sides and beverage for $8 a plate. Desserts are available for a small amount and diners may eat in or take out. The funds raised support the Post for the benefit of the community.
The Post is open to the public from 3-9 p.m., Fridays through Wednesdays.

LAKEHILLS LAST SATURDAY MARKET is changing their dates. They are canceling their event in June, July and August. They will become a 5th Saturday Market beginning on Oct. 30. They feel a quarterly market on 5th Saturdays will give them the time to continue building it into something special. They thank everyone for our support.
LAKEHILLS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH will get a new pastor effective June 27. Her name is Dawn Barker Baird. We will all miss Celia Halfacre and wish her the best — her last Sunday is June 20. And we welcome Reverend Baird to our community and wish her well.
FAITH TABERNACLE has been rebranded. It is now called THE WAY CHURCH. They will hold their commencement ceremony and service Saturday, June 19, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 20, at 10:30 a.m., with special songwriter and singer David Huff. All are welcome. They are located at 7789 FM 1283, between Pipe Creek and Lakehills. This is the church that hosts the monthly food distributions through Alamo RC&D.
LAKE AND RIVER
On June 15, Medina Lake is at 35.5 per cent capacity. The lake level is 1027.17 feet, which is down 37.03 feet.
The Medina River has a flow of 24.7 cfs in Bandera, standing 3.57 feet deep at the gage.
Please send your Lakehills, Pipe Creek and Mico news to me by email at [email protected] or call me at 210-563-1186 and leave a message.
Until next time, “¡Vaya con Dios!”
