The community's swimming pool, a covered pavilion, and playground had its opening May 1, and the chamber gathering took place two days later. The chamber networking opportunity featured a Mexican theme with fajitas and margaritas from La Parrilla Restaurant in Fayetteville. All of the community's inventory homes were open for touring by chamber members and their guests.
