Get Outside and Enjoy Great Company

Looking for a fun way to get outside, connect, and enjoy great company? Here are some events that bring people together for fresh air, good food, and interactive experiences you won’t want to miss!

First, Birds & Blooms Garden Tour is a scenic walk through gorgeous botanical gardens, ending with a relaxing picnic. It’s the perfect way to slow down, take in nature’s beauty, and share the moment with friends.

Next, Let’s Have a Pull Party! is a dream for BBQ lovers—an interactive experience where you’ll learn the secrets of slow-smoked pulled pork, then dig into a delicious meal together. Hands-on, flavorful, and fun!

Finally, the Ives Pool Party for Kids of All Ages is all about play! It features swimming, games, snacks, and plenty of laughter—a family-friendly event designed for everyone to enjoy.

These are just three of the 18 incredible Nurturing Our Community events. Bidding starts Sunday, April 6th—bid early and bid high to claim your spot!
