The ballroom was filled with energy, conversation, and community pride as residents gathered for Herons Glen’s Annual Activities Fair on Sunday, January 18. It’s a signature event that highlights the remarkable variety of ways residents can stay active, social, and engaged.
This year’s fair featured 37 sports, clubs, and activity groups, a testament to the ever-growing opportunities within the community. A new addition this year was the Cornhole table, drawing plenty of interest and underscoring Herons Glen’s commitment to continually add fresh and inclusive activities.
Health and wellness were front and center, with options designed for every ability level. From water aerobics, aerobics, fitness classes, yoga, and chair yoga, residents can choose programs that support both movement and balance at any stage of life. For those who enjoy competitive or recreational sports, Herons Glen offers tennis, bowling, golf with the Gators, pickleball, bocce, and now cornhole, ensuring there’s something for every athlete.
Creativity also plays a major role in community life. Residents interested in the arts can explore quilting, ceramics, and numerous artist groups, while those who enjoy games and friendly competition can find their place at bridge, pinochle, BUNCO, or chess tables.
Music and movement enthusiasts weren’t left out either. Whether testing their rhythm with tap dancing or line dancing, singing in the chorus or simply enjoying the social atmosphere, residents were reminded that staying active can be both fun and expressive.
The fair also highlighted groups that reflect service, learning, and shared interests, including: the Veterans organization, Travel Club, Butterfly Garden group, and for those who have always dreamed of the spotlight, Players of the Glen, Herons Glen’s own theater group.
The Annual Activities Fair continues to be a celebration of what makes Herons Glen special: an engaged community that values wellness, creativity, connection, and lifelong learning. With new activities being added, residents are always finding new ways to get involved and new people to share the journey with.
