  • Milltown Historic District
  • 490 Porter Street, New Braunfels, TX 78130
  • Raise funds to Stop 3009 Vulcan Quarry!

Help Preserve Our Hill Country Environment! Join us for our second annual fundraising dinner and auction—this year at the beautiful Milltown Historic District. The evening is dedicated to raising funds for the continued legal fight against the proposed Vulcan quarry. We will also raise awareness of the long-term impacts of poorly regulated open-pit aggregate mining in Texas.

Enjoy gourmet food, libations, music, and dancing. Silent and live auctions will top off the evening as we toast everything that we love about our one-of-a-kind Hill Country—all while supporting a great cause!

Due to Covid-19, this event will be primarily held outside, with lots of extra spacing, an outdoor bar, and expanded outdoor seating areas. We will be following CDC Covid-19 safety protocols for social distancing and personal and environmental hygiene. The health and safety of all our guests, sponsors, partners, and volunteers is top priority.
