It’s that time again…time for the Scofield Farms Holiday Lights Contest! Light displays will be judged between the dates of Thursday, December 12 and Sunday, December 15 and prizes will be awarded during the week of December 16-20. Three prizes will be awarded this year to the winning homes from the Scofield Main, Park at Scofield, and Withers Way sections of the neighborhood. Each lucky winner will receive a $50 Lowe’s gift card. We look forward to seeing all the beautiful lights as they brighten up the neighborhood! Happy Holidays to all!
Pool Closed for the Season
The Scofield Farms pool is now closed for the year. It will re-open in April 2014. Also, please take note of an important change for the 2013-14 winter season — the restrooms at the pool are still accessible from 8 am – 8 pm daily with your pool card, even though the pool is closed. We have added an inner gate to the pool to allow restroom access, yet secure the pool during the winter. Finally, make sure to check out the recently updated flooring in the pool house! See you at the pool next spring for more swimming fun!

District 50 Meet the Candidates Forum
You are cordially invited to a Candidate Meet and Greet Reception for the Texas House District 50 Special Election. The event will be sponsored by the Scofield Residential Owners Association on October 22 at 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. The event will be held at The Original Pancake House located at 1700 W Parmer Ln #650. Our neighbor, Sue Jahn, has graciously donated the space for the evening.
This will NOT be a debate, but rather a chance for neighbors to connect with candidates and discuss issues in a friendly non-partisan atmosphere. The event is not to promote any one candidate or political party. Currently, all 4 candidates for the open Texas House seat are scheduled to attend.

Fun with Ms. Lisa on August 31
Children and adults alike had a great time last Saturday, August 31 as they enjoyed “Ms. Lisa” Baker’s stories, songs, and puppets. At least 50 residents and guests were on hand to share a fun morning. It was a warm day, but the heat was alleviated by a dip in the pool before, during, or after the show! Thank you, Ms. Lisa, for sharing your talents with us!
