Welch Cove Grand Opening 
In addition to its recognition of our founding residents, The Waters’ 4th Annual Founders Day this November marked another milestone as well: the Grand Opening of our second hamlet neighborhood, Welch Cove. With both lakefront and wooded homesites, Welch Cove offers all new options for lot sizes that have sold out on Lucas Point. With a celebratory mix of current and prospective neighbors, the day included a large-scale fish fry by the Bridge Street Market and a backdrop of live music by Rob Thornhill.
Tricks, Treats and More 
Halloween started a little early at The Waters this year, with a festive pumpkin carving and painting event on the Town Square a few days prior. Then, on the big night, we really got in the spirit with special games for the kids, a hayride through Welch Cove and, of course, trick or treating. Special thanks to resident Corey Ballard, who took on the task of assembling the props and people necessary to make the evening so memorable to so many.
Tennis, Neighbors and Great Food: What’s Not to Love? 
Bring something to drink and take potluck on a tennis partner. That was the theme of this year’s inaugural Fall Potluck Tennis Tournament and Cookout. Sponsored by The Waters and The Waters Tennis Association, the event served up hotdogs and hamburgers to a hungry crowd of 25 players and more than 50 spectators. Playing mixed doubles, the tourney worked its way down to one male and one female champion – Founder Dale Walker and Hollan Smith.
Democracy and the Town Square
Despite some cold and miserable weather, a handful of brave souls showed up on The Waters’ Town Square to hear Congressman Mike Rogers and County Commissioner Reed Ingram discuss their positions on key issues facing our district, such as the proposed Pike Road School at The Waters. Both men were subsequently elected in November’s election.
Impromptu Wiffle Ball Game a Big Hit 
In a robust traditional neighborhood like The Waters, fun doesn’t have to be programmed. Sometimes, it just materializes out of thin air as it did when a simple father/son wiffle ball outing quickly ballooned into a spirited game of over 20 kids and their parents. One resident even dropped by to help umpire the game after hearing the joyful commotion. Another perfect example of community in its purest form.
