3rd Annual Fall Celebration Summary

Dear Mountain Enthusiasts:.

Recently at The Preserve Communities 3rd Annual Fall Celebration, I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with a wonderful gathering of people comprised of home owners, home site owners, prospective owners, local community members, friends, family, and our employees. In fact, this was our largest celebration so far, with over 175 attendees.

A wonderful feast was served by our staff member Chef Allen, who presented 12 dishes, including an authentic pig roast and all of the trimmings, along with an assortment of desserts. Our very own Sheila McGuire coordinated the celebration, and there were many activities for all ages, including fly fishing, horseback riding, hay rides, pumpkin painting, and apple bobbing. The Virginia Dare Devils played well into the night.

Below you will find photos of our Fall Celebration. For those of you who attended, I think you will agree a grand time was had by all and this celebration will not be forgotten anytime soon. For those who could not attend, I invite you to visit our communities when your schedules permit. We have several weeks of fall color left, and with the leaves coming down, winter provides a great opportunity to closely examine our spectacular mountain views and appreciate their splendor.

Warm Regards,
