Fall Party & Pig Roast

An Autumnal Feast and Festivities with Friends

Swimming may be over for this year, but there is still another chance to get together with your Holmes Run Pool friends at this festive gathering celebrating the Autumn season.

Chefs Jim Wright, Mark Sites, and their trusty pit crew will lovingly smoke and slow roast a whole pig on site overnight. Savor the succulent barbecue with homemade vegetarian chili and other delicious sides.

Children are invited to engage in pumpkin crafts and all are encouraged to participate in or spectate at a three-legged race!

So come, enjoy some excellent barbecue, catch the three-legged race, indulge in dessert, or just take in the vibe of the evening, all in the good company of friends and neighbors at this favorite annual event.

Special thanks to Jim Wright, Mark Sites, the pit crew, Seena Polivy, and volunteer helpers!
