The latest update we have from our supplier is that the company responsible for building the control panels expects to be fulfilling back orders in late October. Hopefully we can receive the panels early November, test the system and have operational before Thanksgiving.

SCARECROW CONTEST REGISTRATION OPEN | |

Registration OPEN NOW through October 14th
The temperatures have fallen indicating that autumn is on the way which means everyone’s favorite fall tradition, the annual Hackberry Creek Scarecrow Contest, is just around the corner!
Once You Register You Need To Come to The Office to Pick Up Your Yellow Tag To Attach To Your Display.
Families, kids of all ages, groups of friends, school and church groups, and Scout troops are all invited to build a scarecrow to display in their yards during the month of October. It was a HUGE success last year with a record number of entries, and we are excited to see the creativity of our residents again this year.
As we do annually, the scarecrows will be judged by an independent group of judges and the winners in each category will receive a ribbon and will be displayed at the annual HACKBERRY CREEK HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL and will be featured in the Hackberry Creek Living Magazine as well on our social media pages. We will have some new categories and a new method for online entry.
Your scarecrow should be put on display in your yard beginning on October 1st, but no later than October 24th. Scarecrows will be on display through Monday, November 7, 2022.
Judges will select the most outstanding scarecrows in each category week of October 24th thru October 26th.

GATE 1 ENTRY FOUNTAIN POLL | |
The entry fountain and equipment at Gate 1 by the office is in need of extensive repairs and a comprehensive remodel. We are getting bids for new brick around the fountain, new pebble finish inside, new lights, nozzles and mortar-work. The old equipment is set on dirt behind the sign, leaking and in disrepair. Lines from the pump to the fountain needs replaced, all equipment removed, a concrete pad poured with drains, new equipment installed and a weatherproof housing created. We expect an overhaul to cost in the order of $50,000 plus as a capital / reserve expense. | |
