Fourth Annual BrewFest draws dozens of residents; Easter Egg Hunt coming next



Thanks to all who made our 4th Annual Eagle Nest BrewFest a success! We had a great turnout of nearly 40 new/longtime residents from all corners of the neighborhood, all sharing great local brews (OK, and a little wine), free food, gift card giveaways, karaoke (OMG) and an appreciation for all things Eagle Nest! We had two long tables filled with growlers from more than a dozen breweries across Central Indiana ... ales, stouts, IPAs, pilsners, etc.

 It was especially fun to meet and talk to our newer residents and hear why they chose to live in our neighborhood, reasons longtimers can relate to: caring, quality residents, a mature neighborhood, easy access to the state's best shopping and the interstate, proximity to downtown and more. We had several guests from nearby neighborhoods who praised our event, saying they wished their associations did something similar. (Kudos to our Social Committee for that!)

 The goal of BrewFest was to draw more residents to our Clubhouse -- the heart and centerpiece of our development -- and spur ideas for more activities. Among the ideas suggested: more sports watch parties, kid movie nights, and a WineFest (the Board understands not everyone likes beer!).

 In the meantime, if you want to get involved with the Social Committee and help plan events or have other ideas, email member/Director Alice Miley. Also, be sure to bookmark the Events Calendar link for the latest updates in our 2017 social events schedule. Up next: our Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Day and time to be announced soon. Stay tuned!

Board Update: Pool Party with free food, new fob access, cleanup crew recap; Annual Garage Sale June 7-8; dues deadlines approaching and more!

Hello, Eagle Nesters! The Board hopes your spring is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe with all the cold, rainy weather of April that the Pool will be open in barely a month. In preparation for that, it’s time to share a few updates about the 2024 swim season: Nearly a dozen residents turn out to deep clean the Pool A huge thanks goes out to the volunteer team led by Bittern Lane residents John and Cindy Spicklemire for organizing a deep clean of Pool facility on Saturday, April 27. The team of 12 spent hours power washing the chairs to address years of sunblock stains and removing wall grime, while others pulled weeds, cleaned the tables and swept up debris. In return, the Board brought in Jimmy John’s sandwiches, chips and water to keep our cleaning crew fueled up. That was a small price to pay for what would have cost thousands of dollars in labor and time to hire a contractor to do the same work. Be sure to give these neighbors a hearty thanks for their cleanup efforts: J

Memorial Day is coming – and that means Pool season is upon us! We have lots to tell about our opening plans, so here goes: Pool opening: Noon to 8 p.m., Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. Due to scheduling issues with our pool company, it was a scramble to get the facility power washed, cleaned and filled, so the water may be a little cold. Fingers crossed the rain holds off. Pool Party: Noon to 2 p.m. Memorial Day. Free hotdogs, chips, popsicles, lemonade, and beer for the adults. Weather: Given the rainy weather forecast for Monday, watch the blog and Facebook page for updates on postponements or closures. New Pool fobs: All residents in good standing can pick up their new Pool fobs from noon to 8 p.m. Monday. Board members will be set up on the concrete pad outside the gate. Be sure to bring your ID and lot number. Reminder: Only residents whose dues have been paid and cleared can obtain fobs. Want more fob info? Check your mailbox. This week, all residents were mailed a Q&A docum

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
