We are having a Halloween Party at The Landing this Saturday with a pumpkin carving contest, food, candy, games, and following it all up with a community hayride! The pumpkin carving contest has already started and residents are asked to bring in their pumpkins prior to the party so that we can have anyone that comes in the office vote on their favorite. Candy and games will be provided by the office staff and food will be a potluck of sorts with the majority brought in by residents. I've asked our landscaping company to let us borrow a wagon for a memorable hayride immediately following our party. I've also asked residents to sign up to hand out candy during the community hayride. We are very excited about this event and hope to make it a yearly tradition!

Bring your tin can and hand made spoon along with an extra can to echo to our Hobo Jungle. This event will start early in the week as we must elect a Hobo King and Queen for our Hobo Parade. Each candidate will post a poster saying why they feel they should be King or Queen and hang in the community room Monday by noon . (If no one enters I will do it for you and you never know who I will pick to put up on the wall) Election will be on Thursday at 10:00. Which ended up be Jackie Sanchez and Robert McCuthoen. The food will be prepared by Ron Ingalls, migratory worker. He...

The community team are all dressing up as mad scientists that resemble the Doc from Back to the Future movies. We have eyeballs, test tubes, all kinds of candy related to science and doctors. We have food decorated like fingers, brains etc... We even ordered candy from orientaltrading.com that looks like bloodbags, human organs, testtubes etc... Sounds a little graphic when I type it here, but it really isn't! LOL looks like science book stuff from school honestly. We have all of our offices set up with different games for the kids to play. Ring toss, ping pong pails, what's behind the curtain, duck pond and bobbing for apples of course. We have a scavenger hunt throughout the clubhouse and a costume contest as well. Prizes include DVD gift sets, games, radios, toys.

The Halloween Neighborhood Bazaar is similar to a Fall Festival. We host this every year the week before Halloween, and we have an amazing turnout. We have 264 apartments and usually over 300 people and 50 pets attend the event each year. We encourage everyone to attend in costume, including the residents' pets. At the beginning of the evening, we host a costume parade for all the residents and pets that arrive in costume. At the end of the parade, we hand out goodie bags filled with candy and toys for all the children and goodie bags stocked with treats and squeaky toys for all the pets. The main part of the bazaar is hosted by the residents, which is great, because it saves us lots of time and money. Residents compete for a large prize (usually a rent concession or gift card), and...

We announce to our residents via flyers and on facebook about our community Fall Decorating Contest and when they will be judged. Residents then have the chance to decorate either their patio or balcony before the judges tour the property. Once the winners are picked, we contact them via phone and then announce the winners in our quarterly newsletter and on facebook. We award prizes to the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place homes. Prizes range from $50 gift card for the 1st place to $15 gift card for 3rd place.

Over 80% of our audience to Resident Events are women, which means that some of you might have trouble thinking of events that appeal to the men on your property! I am here to help! Fantasy football is played by 19 million people in the US and Canada, so it has a very large audience! Even better, it is a game that lasts several weeks, inspires interaction and competition, and can foster real-world connections in a strong way. The basic concept for Fantasy Football is that participants “draft” real players to their fantasy teams, and their teams are scored based upon how those real players perform during the season. For example, if I have Peyton Manning on my team and he throws three touchdowns on a Sunday, then I get a certain number of points for each touchdown. 1) You first...

Are you having a summer party this year or pool party? If you are looking for some games to add to keep it lively and interesting, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Have you seen the NBC game show "Minute To Win It"? Contestants compete for prizes completing challenges made from household or office materials such as plastic cups, ping pong balls, reams of paper, etc. In one game called NOODLING AROUND the contestant has to put a piece of uncooked spaghetti between their lips and use it to pick up six uncooked penne pasta noodles placed on the table without dropping any of them. It is harder than it sounds and with everyone gathering around cheering, it can be fun. I like having people compete to see who does it faster, but you can do this by timer and it needs to...

Everyone wants to celebrate the holiday season with a real Christmas tree but let’s face it, sometimes for those that live in an apartment, this can be hard…. For the last two Decembers we have hosted a Holiday Event! We work with a local nursery to provide us with Real Christmas trees, and wreaths. They deliver and we display on our basketball court to sell to our residents. To make it even easier for our residents, we also sell Christmas stands and lights for them to purchase. If a resident selects a tree for their family – no hassle, our maintenance delivers it to their home and assists them with carrying it in and making sure it is all set up in the tree stand before leaving. That’s not all – Holidays aren’t final unless Santa comes to visit! Throughout the afternoon we provide crafts for the kids to...

The children and adults in the community go on a hayride singing Christmas Carols while other adults go to the porches and collect canned items that the residents have put out for the hungry. The hayride stops at predetermined houses for hot chocolate and Christmas cookies. All the food collected is given to our local food bank. The kids love it and it gets everybody in the mood for giving.
