Enjoy Elyson’s Great Get-Together picnic on Saturday, April 14
On Saturday, April 14, everyone is invited to Elyson’s Great Get-Together, an old-fashioned picnic with a “Wizard of Oz” theme, featuring chalk art, face painters, balloon artists, classic picnic food and drinks, and much more. The picnic will be followed by a live music concert.
The free family fun takes place from 1-6 p.m. at Elyson community, located at Grand Parkway and FM 529, between I-10 West and U.S. 290 West.
Dorothy will greet residents and guests as they arrive at Elyson’s Model Home Village, and there will also be a living Tin Man statue and a Scarecrow on jumping stilts.
A chalk artist will help kids create their own artwork with Wizard of Oz themed templates. Face painters, balloon artists, and arts and crafts activities will add to the fun, and a DJ will be on hand to spin tunes.
Kids of all ages can also enjoy train rides around the Model Home Village, a hamster ball collision course and farmyard inflatable play areas. Guests will also enjoy carnival games like tic tac toe, ring toss, can smash, sack races and a hula hoop station.
Delicious treats will include cotton candy, popcorn, mini funnel cakes and lemonade. Throughout the event, Elyson Café will be offering food specials for sale, including pizzas, sliders, fruit and salads.
From 4-6 p.m., everyone is invited to enjoy live music on the event lawn at Elyson House, right next door to the model homes. Houston’s Hybrid 7 band will play upbeat dance hits and classic Motown favorites, and Elyson Café will offer a special menu, along with wine, beer and sangria.
