To celebrate National Night Out this year on October 5, we invite all residents to meet at the pool house for complimentary hot dogs!  There you can visit with a member of our constable’s staff and meet new friends. 

After that, in the spirit of the evening, may we suggest that neighbors meet together on their blocks?  Grab a lawn chair and visit with others on your block.  It doesn’t need to be formal, you can decide where to gather on the block and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Baked Not Fried Sounds Perfectly Healthy To Us

Baked Not Fried hits the streets with the slogan, “Delicious Grub and Healthy Crap”. Their menu offers food for the grease-impaired!  That’s correct: The food is not greasy and there’s something for everyone (not just rabbit food!) They offer $5 all-beef hotdogs with 13 different garnishes!  So, just take a look at the VAST family-friendly menu and decide what would be best for you and your family. 

Easy to pick up, with only a 1-2 minute wait, they accept cash, cards, Venmo and Zelle.

They will be at the pool house from 5:00-8:00.  Hope to see you at the pool house Friday evening. 

-The Events Planning Committee (formerly known as the Social Committee)

Neighbors: 

It’s hard to believe, but it’s back to school time!  Your social committee is planning a final summer bash for residents of all ages on Saturday, August 14 from 11-2.  We’ll have the DJ spinning your favorite tunes to help set the mood for our Luau theme.  You’ll love the tropical treats from the famous Tikiz Truck as well as a scrumptious new food truck:  Craft Bar-B-Que.

We’ll have a raffle for prizes (no purchase needed; a ticket will be given to all the kiddos at the welcome/check in table.)

Fun stuff we have planned:

-A Slip and Slide: Two shoots—one for the kiddos and another for adults

-The Climbing Tower:  Note: a 38 year old resident made it to the top last time and is challenging other adults to match that feat!  

-A Back to School “Meet and greet” area: For all grades with a special event for kindergarteners who will be meeting @ 10 that morning at the playground.  Meet some other kindergarten friendly faces before the first day of school and enjoy a popsicle at the playground. We will mingle, play and meet our Willow Creek Elementary School principal.  After that, stay for the party!
–Yard Games: including Jenga for adults

–A Pickleball demonstration by four of our residents.  Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America, so come see what it’s all about!

–AND back by popular demand:  The Balloon Man and his partner!  He is fantastic, but only here from 11-1. 

Plan to join us—grass skirts and leis are optional! 

Check out the Tikiz Truck.  Their Facebook page tells us to “Listen for the Steel Drum Music!”  They have ice cream, shaved ice, Hawaiian Coffee and other dreamy-sounding hot beverages and Flotz, one of which is called a “Purple Cow”!  Sounds like fun; we’re intrigued! You can visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/TikizNHouston.

Sharky’s Sno Cones will be helping us cool off Saturday, July 10th and July 31st. Come and enjoy a refreshing sno cone with Sharky at the pool house. They’ll be here from 1-8 p.m. Cost ranges from $3 to $5

Ready for something different? 

Friday, July 9^th from 5-8 p.m. we will welcome Cousins Maine Lobster to Village Creek.  Nationally known and locally owned, they tell us they love serving communities around the Houston area. Their dedication to the business starts with their training program.  From trap to truck or table – each Cousins Maine Lobster family member travels to Maine, meets their lobstermen, boards their boats, baits and hauls traps, and measures lobsters for sustainability to learn about the industry and what makes their lobster so special.

Their story is interesting.  You might enjoy checking it out on their website: https://www.cousinsmainelobster.com/our-story/.

We think you’ll love the food and appreciate it when they say, “We are a family business, and there’s nothing more important than family.”

Neighbors:

We are sorry to have to cancel the Luau party planned for this Saturday, June 5^th. With this continuous rain and a prediction of 80% chance for Saturday, we feel this is the best decision for Village Creek. 

We regret this change of plans, but hope to see you soon at the next event.

Back by Popular Demand!

Something different and loved the last time they were here in Village Creek, WaffleO’Licious is coming back.  The owners tell us, “The ‘O’ Basic Waffle is the beginning of everything we do. It’s offered with a “Texas” style kick to it. We start with savory waffle dishes and end with the sweetest waffles for a finish.”
