We’ve all heard about the snow coming Sunday and Monday. And depending on which news outlet or weather app you follow, accumulations could range from 4 t o7 inches. Freezing rain also is possible. To help ensure resident safety,  the Board requests all vehicles be moved off our roadways and courts  so our plowing contractor can work quickly and efficiently. Neither the Board nor our plowing contractor will be responsible for vehicles that are "plowed in" because they are in the way.  Any vehicle that poses a hazard – particularly those at intersections or on curves – could be towed in the interest of public safety. Please spread the word . If your neighbor routinely parks in the street, ask them to move their vehicle(s) for the sake of our community. We realize it may be a temporary inconvenience, but nobody likes having to navigate around icy mounds left by cars, especially on slick roads. Also, please be patient . We will plow the neighborhood -- twice if needed -- bu...

Happy New Year, Eagle Nest residents! The Board of Directors wishes everyone a happy, healthy and safe new year! Be sure to bookmark our blog site for all the latest neighborhood news and events!

Each year, it gets harder and harder to pick the winners in the annual Holiday Lights Contest – and that’s a good thing. It’s so refreshing, uplifting and encouraging to see the spirit of the holidays on full display across the neighborhood, in big ways and small. This year’s panel of judges – a Board member’s relatives visiting from Florida and Belgium (no joke!) – were amazed by the effort so many homeowners put into decorating their lots and homes. And so with that, the winners are (drum roll please) … First place (tie): 8250 Warbler Way/Lot 120 (Tom and Cindy Corbett) First place (tie): 8133 Bittern Lane/Lot 217 (Kevin and Bronwyn Caddell) Second place: 8133 Tanager Court/Lot 276 (Arlo and Heather Meyer) Third place (tie): 8019 Tanager Lane/Lot 285 (Eric and Cheryl Herzog) Third place (tie): 8331 Mockingbird Lane/Lot 92 (Brian and Brandy Schneider) Let’s not forget some outstanding honorable mentions: Bittern Lane: 8015, 8020, 8102, 8111, 8112, 8133 Warbler Way: 7710, 772...

With Christmas just days away, Santa and Mrs. Claus wanted to Board to pass along their best wishes for a happy and safe holiday season. Unfortunately, the jolly old couple's schedule is extremely tight this year, so they won’t be able to host our traditional drive-thru event. We’ll miss them, of course, but understand it’s a crazy busy world out there. That said, the jolly old couple were so happy to see the dozens of kids and families who turned out for Cookies with Santa earlier this month at the Clubhouse. Thanks to social co-chairs Marcella Kates and Sarah Craney for organizing everything. We’ll try to get on Santa’s calendar earlier next year for the drive-thru and wish him and Mrs. Claus (aka Warbler residents Tom and Cindy Corbett) all the best in 2025. But wait, there’s still holiday excitement ahead for Eagle Nest: Judging is Sunday night (Dec. 22) for our annual Holiday Lights Contest. Just make sure your lights and yard decorations are turned on from 7–10 p.m. so our se...
