STANSBURY DAYS 2019

Every third weekend in August is Stansbury Days; the summer weekend that unites our community with fun filled events and meeting new friends. We live in a beautiful area that harbors a lake, tennis courts, a swimming pool, golf course, clubhouse, ballparks, and an observatory.

The weekend began Friday night with a bike race for the little ones. An outdoor movie, A Bug’s Life, followed later on the clubhouse lawn. Saturday morning started early with a mini triathlon: a 500 meter swim in the lake, a 12 mile bike ride, followed by a 3.1 mile run through a designated route in the neighborhood. Here’s where I get to brag about my gal-pal and neighbor for winning fifth place overall and first place in her age group. Congrats Dr. V, so proud of you! A parade followed with proud participants.

The afternoon showcased a cardboard boat race for ages 5-12, also 13 +, and paddle board races; the former brought a lot of attention and excitement. The rules were only homemade boats made out of cardboard and duck tape. Lots of cheering went on for the ones that didn’t sink and made it back to shore in one piece. I have to say, that has always been my favorite event. The kids came up with some pretty unique designs, with a little help I’m sure from a parent.

The Activity Zone consisted of bounce houses, a dunk booth, mini-putt-putt, Nerf wars, and ATV train rides. What’s not to like about this weekend?

Across the bridge on the other side of the lake was where the vendors, including us, the food trucks and the car show presented themselves. There was also live entertainment throughout the day. The day ended with a brilliant display of fireworks over the water, followed by a star party at the Stansbury Park Observatory.

This was not our first time enjoying the neighborhood party, though it was our first time here promoting the SKIP THOMAS ADVENTURES booth. I am blessed and thankful to call this beautiful community my home. Stansbury Days is always the highlight of my summer and I can’t wait til next year to enjoy it again. Hope to see you all there.

Until next time, God bless and stay safe.

Skip’s mom, Cb

It takes all kinds. Tim and Mike at the booth!

This handsome fella is Odin. He is a 1 year old Doberman Pinscher. He just had to get out of the hot sun and get some cool refreshment. Glad he stopped by!
