Kerr County will honor veterans on Tuesday in a week of events

The Kerrville community will pause Tuesday to honor those who served in the armed forces, with three Veterans Day ceremonies scheduled across the county as the area continues its recovery from summer flooding.

The Doyle Community Center will host a Veterans Day program at 11 a.m. Tuesday featuring guest speaker Dr. John Burditt, a retired Air Force veteran who will share his military experiences. Lunch will be provided following the program.

The Dietert Center will hold a separate Veterans Day lunch at 11 a.m., inviting veterans as guests for a meal and group photo. In Fredericksburg, the National Museum of the Pacific War will conduct its annual Veterans Day commemoration, also at 11 a.m.

Free yoga classes for veterans continue every Monday at 3 p.m. at the Kerrville Elks Lodge, led by Rick Trzcinski of the Veterans Yoga Project.

The week’s activities reflect a community balancing holiday observances with ongoing flood recovery efforts. Two riparian restoration workshops are scheduled for landowners and land stewards affected by the July 4 flood that killed 119 people in Kerr County.

The Riverside Nature Center will host a workshop Friday at 9 a.m., followed by a Sunday session in Center Point at noon. Both workshops will provide guidance, native seeds and plants, and resources for those working to restore flood-damaged properties. Registration is required for both events.

The Upper Guadalupe River Authority is seeking volunteers for a river trail cleanup Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon along the Guadalupe River Trail. Those interested can register through the UGRA website.

On Saturday, flood survivors will receive assistance at a clothing event hosted by the Heart of cabi Foundation at Citywest Church from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is designed for women who lost personal clothing in the floods.

The week also features the return of regular community programming, including farmers markets Saturday morning, library events throughout the week, and live music performances at venues across the county.

The Hill Country Archeological Association will meet Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Riverside Nature Center, where Mark McBride will present “Hill Country Archeology – Before and After the Flood: New Discoveries and Recovery at Crying Woman Ranch.”

Friday’s Greens of Gratitude Golf Invitational at Scott Schreiner Golf Course will honor first responders, medical teams, and volunteers who assisted during the flood response. The 8 a.m. tournament is sponsored by Happy State Bank and Ford Philanthropy, with honored guests playing at no charge.

The Kerr County Sheriff’s Foundation will hold its fifth annual fundraiser, Badges, Boots & Bids, Friday at 5:30 p.m. at Gravity Check Saloon.
