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!

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.

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
