Don’t forget about the grand opening of the Village Bakery this morning. If you’ve never had a chance to experience Alex Meixner, you are in for a treat with the musical genius of New Braunfels Texas. 

And with that happening, be sure to ‘Czech out’ out the History of West Museum right across the street. We will be opening at 9 AM this morning. 

Hope to see you there.
