February 2010

February 20th was the gathering for the Chili Cook-Off. Many tasters arrived, a select few members of the Board showed up and the three judges ranged in age from 16 to 43! As the fire crackled in the fireplace and the music played the judges tasted chilli and reached a unanimous decision. A $50 gift-card to Chili’s restaurant was awarded to First Place, a gift basket stuffed with decorative kitchen towels, chilli bowls & kitchen.

November 2009

Our Saturday, November 7th New Homeowner Meet & Greet Breakfast was a great success. Many new(and familar faces) came out on this chilly morning for coffee and to meet their neighbors. We have away a $25 gift card to Home Depot to a family on Hillside Drive! More information is forthcoming.

It was a chilly fall afternoon in Country Walk as many ghosts, punk rockers, and goblins participated in the Fall Festival on Saturday, October 17th. The children won prizes as they played build a mummy, loop the skeleton and corn toss. Madison Haney, dressed as Raggedy Ann took the trophy for best costume. Adults and children alike participated in the cake walk and departed with some hauntingly scrumptious desserts! The social committee would like to graciously thank everyone that attended and all who slaved away in the kitchen baking all the delicious desserts!

Teen Lockin Party

Friday nights LOCK-IN (July 31st) was a youthful event! The younger Country Walk kiddos enjoyed making smores, indulging on chocolate and roasting marshmallows fireside. At 8 p.m. the younger children were sent on their way and the festivities began for the teens. Country Walk teens competed in relay races, tug of war and won some grand prizes including cash with the many raffles drawn. The junk food was in abundance, although the sugar wore off quickly with the teens socializing in the pool. They were most pleased there when their wasn't a lifeguard yelling "Adult Swim!" A pat on the back to all parents who allowed their children to attend, the teens were all very courteous and respectful. Many thanks to the Edmundston Family and Denise Haney for their generous donation of prizes.

The cow bells were ringing in Country Walk on Saturday Night at the Annual Adult Pool Party! We dined on a delicious spread of tasty chicken wings, homemade macaroni and cheese, shrimp and creamy banana pudding just to name a few. More than sixty of Country Walks finest brought cold cocktails and tasty covered dishes. Nichole Steward, owner of “Ambient Cuisine” catering, provided the mouth watering salmon quesadillas.

The hilarious entertainment was side splitting as the adults competed for prizes; playing corn hole, relay races and many games of volleyball under the stars. More than an ego was bruised with games of tug of war when the losers ended up wet in the water! Todd and Nikki King of Country Walk Drive, took home the “naughty basket” winning the “How well do you know your mate?” game. Homeowners walked away smiling with armloads of fabulous prizes including lottery tickets, poolside cocktail glasses and beach towels. It was a childless night in Country Walk filled with laughter, food, cocktails and prizes. This adult pool party was certainly one to keep the neighbors talking!

4th July Parade

Bradford Lane was a sea of red, white and blue as 54 contestants lined the street for the Country Walk annual Fourth of July parade! Families paraded down Country Walk Drive to the tunes of Born in the USA and Yankee Doodle. The contestants dined on scrumptious frozen popsicles at the pavillion where they were judged for best decor and awarded fantastic prizes. Winners were: John Jardin, Andrew Jardin, Camryn Stokely, Alyssia Fabrizio and the most patriotic dog award went to "Maddux" Raaum. All ages sported red fire hats as the massive fire truck zoomed into Country Walk with lights flashing and sirens blaring. The smiling children got to explore the fire truck and later dined on pizza and coca cola poolside. It was a delightful event! Many thanks to all the volunteers and participants. We can hardly wait for next year!
