Labor Day Fun!

The Blackhawk community celebrated the last days of summer with a special event at our newly landscaped River Lodge on Saturday, September 5th with pony rides, hot dogs and lots of artwork!

The afternoon began with a special art project hosted by Margo Anneke and family. Using lengths of string soaked in black paint, event-goers were able to create amazing designs by dragging the string across paper. Once dry, the designs were enhanced with watercolor paint. The result…stunning works of art!

With painting complete, kids were then able to test their skills on the Blackhawk horses with pony rides around the River Lodge lawn.

The afternoon came to a close with one of the all-time favorite events at Blackhawk…the paint the pony! Scooby Doo, elected by the kids as the best horse for their canvas, was painted with handprints, star bursts and polka dots.

From all of us at Blackhawk, we hope that everyone had a wonderful and fun-filled Labor Day…we definitely enjoyed hosting this special weekend event! Now it is time to bring on the snow!
