Board Update: Free Simply Divine cupcakes, pool updates, August food truck schedule, Zoom Crime Watch meeting

Hello, Eagle Nest residents!

Here is what’s ahead in Eagle Nest for the week of August 3:

FREE CUPCAKES FOR THE KIDS! That’s right, come to the Clubhouse on Thursday, Aug. 6 (5-7 p.m.), and the first 50 kids (ages 1-12) will receive a free cupcake from Simply Divine Cupcakes, the popular dessert vendor in downtown City Market. (Some of you might remember Simply Divine’s visits earlier this summer as part of our food truck rotation.) First come, first served; one cupcake per child, please. Compliments of our Social Committee and the Board. Simply Divine will stay on site to sell extra cupcakes once our free batch is gone. It’s all part of Family Fun Nights, every Thursday at the Clubhouse. Coming August 13: free Kona Ice snow cones!


POOL UPDATE: The Board thanks all residents for their continued help in observing our posted rules and following CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please ensure you maintain social distancing from those not in your immediate party and wear a mask when entering and exiting the facility (Masks are not required while swimming, of course.). A reminder that we require all residents sign and submit a pool waiver for our files before using the facility. Nearly 200 lot owners have done so, a testament to our development’s support and commitment to safety. Lastly, please note the following hours of operation (We’ve had residents show up early before the guards were fully prepared to open): Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Check the Pool link on the Eagle Nest blog for more info. Questions? Contact Pool Manager Samantha Burns at samanthaburns51@gmail.com.


SWIM LESSON FAN MAIL: A shoutout to our lifeguard staff for their fantastic work conducting free swim lessons for nearly two dozen young Eagle Nesters last month. Following is a thank you from a participating family: “Three of our boys participated in the swim lessons and they had so much fun! Thank you thank you for making that happen this year! Our 6-year-old came away very confident, and after knowing nothing on Monday he was able to take his puddle jumper off yesterday and practiced with his Dad one more time before doggy paddling like a champ. We are very proud of him and thankful for the lifeguards encouragement and time this week!” If your kids participated, please be sure to thank the guards for their time and instruction – they would appreciate hearing your feedback.


FOOD TRUCK SCHEDULE FOR AUGUST: Grab your calendar and mark the following food truck dates at the Clubhouse. We have a new participant, as well as several vendors returning by popular demand. The August lineup:

  • August 4: Backyard BBQ Indy (NEW!), 5-8 p.m. Menu: pulled pork and chicken, chicken tenders, pork bell sandwich, Polish sausage, smoked wings, brisket, traditional sides, root beer and tea. @BackyardIndy has been a popular Northside favorite, including the Binford Farmer’s Market.

Board Update: Curb Appeal Award winners, inaugural Card Night on Oct. 10, live music Oct. 21 at Clubhouse!

The Board hopes everyone’s fall season is off to a great start. October is shaping up to be a busy month in Eagle Nest – read on! 2023 Curb Appeal Awards winners announced! The Board is proud to recognize the following lots as winners of our 2023 Curb Appeal Awards, presented to Eagle Nest owners for their outstanding lot and house maintenance. First place (tied): 8031 Teel Way , above left, (Lot 52, Clayton Napier) and 8111 Warbler Way , above right (Lot 229, Todd and Rokeena Williams).  Both homes underwent extensive exterior renovations in recent years, including new roofing, new siding, new paint, wood repair, landscaping and more (all pre-approved by the Rules and Restrictions Committee, by the way). The owners could have saved considerable money by moving to a newer home in another neighborhood, but they chose to stay and invest in their properties. Clearly, the time and effort paid off, as both lots are shining examples of how to bring out the best in a property. Projects like t

Board update: Pool closing Labor Day, annual dog swim, Curb Appeal Awards, live music coming to Clubhouse!

Pool closes Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4  All good things come to and end, as the saying goes, and that includes our 2023 Pool season. Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4, is the last day of operation for our facility, with hours from noon to 8 p.m. It’s been a great summer of swimming, despite a few mechanical and staffing issues, so please be sure to thank Pool Manager Samantha Burns and her lifeguard staff for a job well done. For the most part, our facility was staffed and open daily the entire summer, unlike many of the city’s public pools – including nearby Sahm Park. We hope to see all our guards back next year, but if you know someone interested in joining the Eagle Nest Pool staff, please contact Samantha. In the meantime, enjoy these last days of swimming! Third Annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim on Sept. 4 Calling all Eagle Nest dog owners: Bring your furry friend to the Pool at 8:01 p.m. Monday, Sept. 4, for our third annual Eagle Nest Dog Swim. Residents are welcome to bring their pets (no

The winners of the 2023 Holiday Lights Contest are ...

Every year, judging for our annual Holiday Lights Contest gets tougher and tougher, and 2023 was no exception. This year’s challenge: sizing up more than 100 homes with lot decorations in a variety of colorful shapes, sizes and configurations, some traditional, some creative, all a colorful sign of season. Our independent judge from out-of-state (a former resident, no less!) struggled with all the choices, but after applying stringent judging criteria and washing it through our patented AI matrix, she came up with the following results: 1ST PLACE: 8250 Warbler Way (Tom and Cindy Corbett) Judge’s comment: "Last year's second-place finisher – and previous five-time winner – reclaims the top spot, though barely as competition was stiff all across the neighborhood. This is the property to beat every year.” 2ND PLACE: 8133 Bittern Lane (Kevin and Bronwyn Caddell) Judge's comment: "This display was simply a gem with an eye-popping mix of yard and landscape lighting.
