This Saturday: ONA Trunk or Treat!


Oakhurst neighbors, we are replacing our annual Halloweenie Roast and Costume Contest with our version of a Halloween tailgate. We have chosen to change the event instead of cancel, as we have had to do on other events in the last few months. So join us for our Halloween event!

ONA Trunk or Treat, Oct 31st from 4-6 pm

A great time to be social at a distance!

So mask up, costume up and come have some fun.

No children, not problem...you can still be part of the fun! Just decorate your car trunk and bring some treats or candy to hand out to the children attending.

Contact Glenda (817.975.4653 or bluebird@oakhurstfw.org) if you would like to know more about the event or would like to have your car in the event. We are also asking for donations of candy and individually-wrapped treats.

Get ready for an experience like no other! The Bubble Bus Co. 🚌💨 will be serving up free beer, prosecco and popsicles in the neighborhood TODAY! They will be in Oakhurst on June 18th from 5:45-8:45 pm
 

Here is how you can support Bubble Bus Co. and get the most up-to-date information:

  2. Watch their story posts on Facebook and Instagram to see the stopping point locations and times.

#FreeBeer #FreePopsicles #HappinessOnTap

THE BUS
 
Bubble Bus Co is a VW Bus converted into a mobile bar! It serves anything from coffee and kombucha to cocktails, beer and wine. Usually we go to big and small public and private parties, but due to our current global situation, we came up with an idea to lift people's spirits while following all SD guidelines.

SOCIAL DISTANCE
 
We take all the precautions following social distance guidelines: we wear masks and gloves that are changed multiple times throughout our visits, we avoid contact with anyone by placing the drinks on a table instead of handing them directly, we disinfect this table regularly, we make marks with chalk on the sidewalk to highlight the 6 ft apart rule, and encourage people to go for a walk while they enjoying a tasty beer (we welcome suggestions and ideas on how we can further implement and improve the social distance guidelines, please DM us with any suggestions😉).

TIPS
 
People can tip but they are not obligated! We just want to bring some happiness and understand not everybody is in the position to tip. However, if they can and decide to tip, that money will be donated to sponsor another fellow neighborhood to get a similar experience. 😊 Follows, tags, shares, likes and comments are so much appreciated!

-Thank you.
