Summer in Devonshire is more than just a time of year—it’s a season of celebration, connection, and unforgettable memories. Thanks to the outstanding efforts of the CCMC management team, the Devonshire Residential Association has made summer the peak season for community engagement. From lively pool parties to family-friendly outings and fitness classes, residents have enjoyed a packed schedule of events designed to bring neighbors together.

But the excitement doesn’t start in June—it builds from spring, with events like the Hop and Spring Fair and Cornhole Tournament—setting the stage for a summer full of fun. By looking back at the success of these gatherings, we can appreciate how Devonshire fosters a true sense of belonging.

Hop and Spring Fair – A Vibrant Kickoff

The Hop and Spring Fair was a huge success, featuring:

  • Easter egg hunts for kids
  • Festive games and crafts
  • Food trucks and live entertainment

Families gathered at the Clubhouse for a day of laughter and community bonding. The event set the tone for a season of engagement, proving once again that Devonshire knows how to throw a party!

Cornhole Tournament – Friendly Competition Under the Sun

Another spring highlight was the Cornhole Tournament, where neighbors faced off in a fun, competitive atmosphere. With music, food, and plenty of cheering, this event was a crowd favorite, reinforcing the community’s love for outdoor activities and friendly rivalries.

These spring gatherings weren’t just standalone events—they were the perfect warm-up for an even bigger summer lineup.

Liberty at the Pool Party – A Star-Spangled Hit!

One of the most successful events of the summer was the Liberty at the Pool Party, sponsored by William Ryan Homes. Highlights included:

  • A packed pool deck with residents in patriotic attire
  • Free hotdogs (all 75 spots claimed!)
  • A thrilling dunk tank, where brave volunteers took the plunge
  • A cornhole tournament with fierce but friendly competition
  • A poolside movie night before the fireworks start to go off

Residents are likely to ask for more themed pool parties in the future based on the success of this one.

Father’s Day Brews & Burgers + Car Show – A Tribute to Devonshire Dads

The Father’s Day celebration was another standout success, featuring:

  • Hand-rolled cigars from DFW Cigar Rollers (completely sold out!)
  • A classic car show with stunning vehicles from the community
  • Lawn games and live music, creating a relaxed, festive vibe

Dads across the neighborhood raved about the event, with many calling it the best Father’s Day gathering yet.

Water Park Trip to Hawaiian Waters

For families looking to beat the heat, the Hawaiian Waters trip will become a summer staple. With 50 free ticketsoffered to homeowners (first-come, first-served), this outing is a fantastic way for neighbors to bond while enjoying thrilling water slides and lazy rivers.

Sports & Fitness: Tournaments, Clinics, and More

Devonshire’s summer calendar is packed with opportunities to stay active:

  • Basketball Tournaments – Competitive yet friendly games where residents can showcase their skills.
  • Soccer Shots Clinics – Free youth soccer programs that help kids develop skills while having fun.
  • Zumba & Pilates Classes – Energizing workouts led by local instructors, perfect for staying fit while socializing.

These activities not only promote health and wellness but also bring neighbors together in a fun, supportive environment.

Family Bike Night & Glow-Up Rides

One of the most unique summer events is the Glow Up Family Bike Night, where families decorate their bikes with lights and ride through the neighborhood. Afterward, everyone gathers at the clubhouse for snacks and refreshments. It’s a whimsical, joyful way to spend a summer evening.

Scholarship & Career Workshops

For students and professionals, Devonshire offers scholarship workshops (hosted by Dream Pushers Academy) and resume-building sessions (led by Impactful Strategies LLC). These events demonstrate the community’s commitment to supporting residents’ personal and professional growth.

None of these incredible events would be possible without the hard work of the CCMC management team. From Jennifer Bruington (Community Manager) to Jose Villafuerte (Lifestyle Director), Kelsie Clowe (Community Standards Coordinator), Aaron Marquez (Community Standards Coordinator), Giselle Lamette (Administrative Coordinator), and Wayne Detweiler (Maintenance Manager), their dedication ensures that every event runs smoothly and that residents have a fantastic experience.
