2002 Holiday Bake-Off Announced
The 4th Annual Holiday Bake-Off is scheduled for Wednesday, December 18th at 7:00pm til... at the Bledsoe residence at 6752 Plantation Pines Blvd.
Each year the competition has become a little stiffer....we have some extraordinary cooks in our community...so give it your best shot and enter your favorite dessert/baked goods recipe. We have First, Second and Third prize awards. We're also expecting Mr. & Mrs. Claus...and there's always fun crafts for Kids and the reading of the Night Before Christmas by Sir Rodney. And we've always got some surprises in store...last year we had a fabulous horse drawn carriage ride! So make sure you mark your calendars! Don't worry if you're not a cook, entry into the Bake-off is not required.

New Signage
We are entertaining bids for new signage for our entrance walls. According to the online polls and conversations with residents, it would appear that many people feel that updating our signage would be a vast improvement, which would serve to beautify our grounds and polish our image as a community, thereby fostering and potentially improving property values. We will further discuss this at the annual meeting in the fall. Stay posted....and email or call to let us know what you think.
