Food trucks, free snow cones, whiskey tasting and more highlight our 2022 Social Events Calendar

As summer winds down, it's time to gear up for the start of school with ... drum roll please ... food trucks! That’s right, we’re excited to report another summer of great food vendors will be visiting our development most Tuesdays, starting August 9 through October 25. We know it can be scramble to whip up dinner on school nights, especially after you've been working all day, so our food truck partners got you covered!

First up: The Latin Flavor, a rising local favorite serving, well, Latin-inspired street tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, tacos and more (Don’t forget the homemade fruit water). The Latin Flavor has been spotted all over town, pulling in rave reviews for their flavorful, hearty servings cooked fresh on the spot. (Check them out on Facebook.) Save the dates: Aug. 9, Sept. 13, Oct. 11 (6 to 8 p.m.)

But that’s not all. The trucks are the first of several activities for both kids and adults lined up by new Social Committee Chair and Board member Brigette Stephens, who was elected to the Board at our June 2022 Annual Meeting. Here’s a look at our great lineup of Clubhouse events so far:


Aug. 7: Annual Party, noon to 2 p.m. Per tradition, this is our biggest event for residents featuring free fried chicken, lemonade and beer provided by the Board, with sides, dips and desserts donated by residents. Bring your favorites to make this the mother of all potlucks! (Email Brigette at bestephens4@gmail.com so we know who’s bringing what.) Join us for a casual afternoon lunch, meet new and longtime residents and share all that is great about life in Eagle Nest!

Aug. 14: Kona Ice, noon to 2 p.m.: The perfect summer treat – free to the first 80 kids! Kids can fix their own shaved ice treats with a wide variety of flavors. Simply present a current Eagle Nest Pool pass and you’re good to go. This free offer is first-come, first-served, so don’t wait too late!

Sept. 30: Sippin’ in September. Adults-only whiskey tasting and tutorial event. Sample and learn about the different types of whiskeys popular today. Led by resident Thomas Stephens. Light hors d'oeuvres will be served. Questions/want to help organize? Email Brigette at bestephens4@gmail.com. More details to come!

Oct. 28: Family S’mores Night. Join fellow residents for a family friendly night of creative treat making (and eating!). The Social Committee will provide all the supplies to make the best s’mores in Eagle Nest history -- all you need to bring is an appetite! Great event for kids, all ages welcome.

Nov. 6: Colts Tailgate and Chili Cook-off: Kick off the Matt Ryan QB era with our chili cook-off contest and watch the Colts take on the Patriots on our big-screen TV. Bring a crockpot filled with your favorite chili recipe, along with recipe cards to share. The top three best entries win gift cards and bragging rights!

Dec. 3: Cookies and Donuts with Santa. Our annual cookie-decorating event for the kids now has an adult component – donuts and coffee (with Bailey’s Irish Crème)! The Social Committee with provide all the cookies, donuts and decorating supplies to share, along with ample time for selfies with our real, live Santa -- perfect for holiday card photos!

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!

Image
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.
