Easter Egg Hunt – March 30

It’s that time again!  Come join us for the annual Easter Egg Hunt at Scofield Farms Park on Saturday, March 30 from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm.  We’ll have Easter egg hunts for ages 3 and under, 4-6 and 7 and up as well as food and the Tiny Tails to You petting zoo.  If you plan to participate, please deliver a dozen eggs *per participating child* to Laura Nattinger’s house, 1416 Braided Rope Drive, by Saturday, March 23.  The eggs should be stuffed with individually-wrapped candy and/or small toys.  If possible, please avoid sending golden-colored eggs, since they tend to get confused with the prize golden eggs that we hide for each age group.  We’d also like for parents/grandparents to add a note listing their kids’ ages to the bag of eggs they drop off, so we can better distribute the eggs into the appropriate age groups.  See you there – don’t miss the fun!

Scofield Farms Park Mulch Party – March 23

Come join your fellow neighbors this Saturday, March 23rd from 9:00am to 12:00 noon at Scofield Farms Park.  We will be finishing up spreading the mulch from the mountain of mulch that was given to us prior to It’s My Park Day.  Despite our best efforts a few Saturdays ago, we didn’t have enough hands to complete the project.  Many of you were unable to attend the fun and camaraderie at the last event, so now is your chance to help make our park better and meet some great neighbors in the process.

We will meet at the north end of the park this time at the picnic tables, just off the end of Tamar Lane.  Pitchforks, shovels, and wheelbarrows will be provided, as well as all the water you can drink.

Contact Dan Frasier for additional information.  Hope to see you this Saturday!

It’s My Park Day – March 2

Come join your neighbors for the annual “It’s My Park Day” park cleanup event at Scofield Farms Park, to be held on Saturday, March 2, from 9 am to 12 pm.  It’s My Park Day is a citywide park improvement event, made possible by the participation of volunteers like you and your family.  This year, the Scofield Farms Park Beautification Project will include trash pickup, moving mulch, removing limbs and brush from along trails, and clearing invasive plants like China Berry trees.  Snacks and water will be provided (bring your own drinking container, please).

The online signup sheet for the event is now available here.  The online signup has a section where you can include the number coming in your party as well as add the size of t-shirt that you want that will commemorate the event. 

On the morning of the event, we will meet at the picnic tables under the pavilion in the park where Visalia Lane intersects with Scofield Farms Drive.   If you have gloves, please bring them, otherwise some should be provided.   Tools will be provided as well.  However, if you have a wheelbarrow that can be used to move mulch, please bring it as the city does not have many available.

For more information contact Dan Frasier at [email protected].

Refrigerator Recycling From Austin Energy

Did you know that Austin Energy will pay you $50 for each old, standard-size (between 14- 27 cubic feet), working refrigerator or freezer?  Just call 1-800-452-8685 to arrange for a pickup. To date, Austin Energy has collected more than 24,000 of these energy guzzlers. Next to heating, cooling and hot water, refrigerators and freezers use more electricity than any other home appliance. Refrigerators that are at least 15 years old use about twice the electricity of today’s new energy-efficient models.  For more information, visit austinenergy.com.
