A “Welcome Home Celebration” is already scheduled for 4:45-6:30 p.m. Monday, once the team returns from Sunday’s World Championship or third-place contest in Williamsport.
Chamber President Kim Blohm said the team will be brought into town by a Boerne Police Department and Boerne Fire Department escort. The entourage will travel from the fire station down the Hill Country Mile to River Road, before turning back to the Main Plaza downtown.
The Main Plaza celebration is tentatively slated to begin at 5:15 p.m., with local leaders welcoming the players, coaches and parents back from their adventure.
Starting at 5:15 p.m., Main Street will be temporarily blocked off as the team is escorted by the Boerne Police and Fire departments from Main Plaza to River Road and back, ending back at Main Plaza. Bring your signs and cheer for the boys as they make their way up and down Main Street.
Once the team passes, attendees can make their way to Main Plaza for the World Series Celebration event. The formal recognition is anticipated to start at approximately 5:30 p.m. and last until 6 p.m.
The boys will be recognized by Mayor Frank Ritchie of Boerne, Mayor Greg Maxton of Fair Oaks Ranch, Kendall County Judge Shane Stolarczyk, Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kim Blohm, and Boerne ISD Superintendent Dr. Kristin Craft.
“The Boerne community has been cheering on this incredible team as they made their historic run to Williamsport, PA,” City Manager Ben Thatcher said. “We want to welcome them home with a party worthy of their hard work and determination that has captivated all of us.”
“It has been so inspiring to see the way the community has rallied behind this team,” said Kim Blohm, president and CEO of the Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve had so many businesses owners and nonprofits eager to donate their time and services throughout this run and to help put on this World Series Celebration.”
