What a Way to End 2025! The end of 2025 was an absolute blast, marked by an unforgettable lineup of events at Pelican Park. The first-ever Turkey Tourney Pickleball Tournament was a major success, with more than 200 registered players bringing both competition and fun. The Four Unplugged Concert welcomed over 300 music lovers for an incredible night of live music under beautiful skies. The Jingle Jam Holiday Party was the largest yet, with nearly 400 guests celebrating the season together. What a great way to close out the year, and appreciation is extended to everyone who helped make these events a success.
