WIMBERLEY, Texas '025 ' The Wimberley City Council voted unanimously Aug. 21 to approve a temporary-structure permit for the Knights of Columbus to hold its Hunter's Night Out under a large tent at 14711 Ranch Road 12 on Oct. 18, and to renew a one-year temporary permit for Las Maria's food trailer at the same property.
Gary Bartschfeld, representing the Wimberley Knights of Columbus and St. Mary's Catholic Church, told the council the event is the council's largest annual fundraiser and that last year it fed and entertained more than 1,000 attendees. Bartschfeld said tents used would be the same ones inspected in prior years and that the event complies with codes and will be inspected by the fire marshal.
