Another week of things to do, including honoring American heroes

A weekend honoring fallen service members headlines a week of community events across Kerr County, featuring theatrical performances, flood-relief fundraising, and seasonal celebrations.

The Flags of Honor observance takes center stage Saturday and Sunday at the Hill Country Youth Event Center, where 500 flags of remembrance will fill a field open to the public at no charge. An opening ceremony begins at 11 a.m. Saturday, with food trucks and live music throughout the day. Taps will be played at sunset both evenings.

Music lovers can support flood relief efforts Thursday evening at Trinity University’s Laurie Auditorium in San Antonio, where Symphony of the Hills and the Trinity Music Department present “A Time to Remember,” a tribute concert at 7:30 p.m. General admission is by donation, with all proceeds benefiting flood recovery.
