Easter Egg Hunt

This Saturday is the annual Lake Barcroft Easter Egg Hunt at 11 am at Beach 5.

Organized by the Woman's Club, this family-friendly event is a huge draw and a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday.

There will be over 3,000 eggs hidden in and around various areas of Beach 5 and children will hunt for eggs by age group, so every little bunny is sure to get some treats to fill her basket.

So bring your Easter basket and the camera down to Beach 5 this Saturday for some family fun and socializing with neighbors!

See you there.

Termites

Seeing swarming termites is NOT a sign you have termites!!

We do live in a forest and our forest landscape has termites who perform a very valuable function (chomp,chomp). This is the season for swarming and it just means a colony is dividing. You can see a swarm anywhere, anytime so do not jump to conclusions.

You can inspect your foundation yourself or call a pest control company to do so for you.
