The Ponds, perhaps even more than the Patriotic LowCountry, really celebrates our Patriotic Holidays in a big way!
Starting with Memorial Day, where we gathered at the Farmhouse to honor and mourn those who died while serving in the U.S. Military. Flags were placed in the grounds around the Farmhouse, taps were played, and people spoke of those lost. Of course some food trucks were there to feed us.
Flag day and the Fourth of July Festivities were combined in a Fourth Fest, which has become a Ponds tradition. This year was the biggest and best yet. A parade of decorated golf carts left the Farmhouse at 7pm, and headed through the Ponds on Hundred Oaks Parkway (closed to vehicular traffic for the event), up to the Village Pond and Amphitheater. All golf carts got a sway bag, and kids on carts threw candy to kids of all ages along the route. Neighbors filled the Amphitheater with blankets and chairs, feeding from 8 golf carts while awaiting an amazing fireworks show. While it wasn't Macy's, for half an hour we all witnessed beauty and bangs with a great professional display that got a lot of oohs and awes from the crowd of about 1000. The weather held, neighbors got a chance to catch up with friends, and everyone left very satisfied, and happy to live in such a wonderful neighborhood.
Sometimes when the house no longer quite fits your needs, if you live in The Ponds you are likely to move to another house in The Ponds that fits you better. It's a great community, a special place to live and raise a family. Come join us!
