HOW TO MAKE IT RAIN IN SADDLEBROOKE Plan an Outdoor Unit Party!
Who said it only rains five days a year in SaddleBrooke? Maybe it was just an early April Fool’s joke?
Unit 8A Social Committee had everything lined up for a perfect early-evening outdoor gathering on March 31st—corn hole games, great company, and delicious food from Flaming Heart BBQ. With 101 enthusiastic guests who RSVP’d, neighbors began arriving in their golf carts, ready for a fun-filled evening.
And then… it rained. And rained. And rained some more.
But did that stop Unit 8A residents? Not a chance.
At least 50 hearty souls stayed, many dining in their golf carts with a little wine, while others embraced the downpour—walking around, laughing, and visiting with friends. In a wonderful show of community spirit, nearby neighbors generously opened their garage doors, offering shelter while everyone shared in the disbelief of the moment. Some even kept the games going, tossing soaked bean bags in a determined round of corn hole.
Guests brought dozens of food items that were taken to local shelters. For those who donated, tickets were given for door prizes that were awarded for an incredible show of generosity by all.
The food was excellent, and homemade cookies from one of the committee members were a sweet highlight. Though the tables were soaked, sympathetic neighbors brought out beach towels to dry them off, proving once again that nothing could dampen the mood.
And as if on cue, the evening ended with a beautiful rainbow over the mountains—a perfect finale to a truly unforgettable event.
A big thank-you and shout-out to everyone who made the evening special: our very own Golder Ranch fire personnel who joined us for dinner; the event planners; food and monetary donors; neighbors who offered shelter; and all those who embraced getting a little (or very!) wet while having a great time.
