Labor Day Chili Cook-Off?

By Leave a Comment

We are throwing around the idea of doing a Chili Cook-Off sometime around Labor Day weekend. The format would be pretty simple and will be put out later. There will be 3 winners in each category of Red Chili and White Chili. We would have a nominal fee for all you can eat chili that will go to a charity. Please let me know if you would be interested in some kind of this type of event. Show off your famous chili or just come out for a good cause!!!! This event will be available to all residents of Piedmont Bend.

4th of July BBQ

By Leave a Comment

After the responses I have received back form the Fourth of July email these were the results for a BBQ:

  • 8 yes
  • 24 no
  • 2 maybe

What I would like to do is have the grill going for anyone that wants to out cookout themselves on Friday between the hours of 11-2. Mary will have games/activities at that time also.

PBRA Adult Night – Friday, June 27

By Leave a Comment

Yes Adult night; we will be closing the pool at 7P.M. for Adults Access Only. All  you will be responsible for is the meal you bring to eat and the drinks you will be drinking if choose to. By no means do you have to cook out at all. Just come on down for a fun night!  The grill will be hot and ready for you to use at 7:30.

We will have music, games (cards and/or dice), volleyball and plenty of fun catching up with friends.  This is a great opportunity to meet some new friends or just catch up with old ones.  All you need to do is bring your own food and drinks, relax, and enjoy your evening.

If you have any suggestions for games that you think might be fun please let me know. Please remember to keep any glass bottles away from the pool deck. Hope to see you all there.
