Pradera Holiday Extravaganza

The countryside at Pradera in Parker is cold and snowy but Holiday activities are warm and cozy.

We love our little town. Parker, Colorado is a Denver suburb but it feels like small Colorado town out of a western movie. It is in full holiday swing with many activities in a many neighborhoods.  Parker is fortunate to have organized communities which promote festivities for the holiday season.  Our community is Pradera, a subdivision built around the Pradera Golf Course, and where we have lived for the past seven years and I have worked as a Pradera Realtor.

Lately, snow has occasionally blanketed the fairways at Pradera Golf Club.

For example, in addition to the numerous days of golf due to the unseasonably warm weather, The Club at Pradera has had many social activities to entertain the entire family during the holidays.  Starting with the Mt. Elbert Kids Club every Friday night, children are entertained with movies, food and fun activities.  The Knife and Fork Friday Night Dinner was held for the final time during 2012 on November 30^th.  This weekly dinner hit will commence again in January 2013.  The annual Pradera Pride Toy Drive was held through December 15^th with all toys to be distributed through the Douglas County Task Force.

For fitness through the holiday season, a Boot Camp is being held every Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 a.m. in the fitness center and outside when weather permits.  The camp will be held for the entire month to assist with maintaining one’s slim, trim figure through these tempting times.  It will also assure everyone can still fit into the new ski wear they purchased at the Oakley Ski Apparel Sale held in the golf pro shop on November 30rd.  Prices were discounted 25% off all the new high tech gear for the coming season.

December 1^st saw a gingerbread house decorating class followed the next morning with The 4^th Annual Santa Breakfast on Sunday, December 2^nd.  A Texas Hold Em Poker Tournament Fundraiser was then held at the Community Center on Friday, December 7^th.  Half of all funds raised went to our local youth baseball team, The Yard Dawgs.  A great time was had by all who attended, as usual.
