Re-Paving of Parking Lot Scheduled by Fearrington Homeowners’                                                                Association

CAUTION:  Beginning Monday May 24, Blalock Paving Company will be re-paving the parking lot surrounding the Gathering Place.  This will impact all the buildings that use this parking area, i.e., the Gathering Place, Fearrington Cares, the Mail Kiosk, and the Fearrington Swim and Croquet Club.

Paving may be completed in 3 days, but inclement weather and other disruptions may mean that interference with normal operations lasts longer.

Vehicle access to the Gathering Place, Fearrington Cares, and the Swim and Croquet Club will not be possible at these times. Access on foot may be possible, but visitors should be aware that a building may be totally inaccessible at some times. Parking along Weathersfield and Swim and Croquet may be possible, but these streets too may be disrupted by construction equipment. It is best to avoid the area if you can.

If you need to visit any of these locations, it is wise to contact the location first for up-to-date information about access.

Access to the Mail Kiosk will be similarly disrupted.  Mail delivery may be impossible some days, but we are consulting with the Post Office about maintaining it as much as possible.

We apologize for the disruption and the inconvenience, but it has been several years since the parking area was last paved, and the surface is in serious need of improvement. We ask for your understanding and cooperation while the construction is in progress.

Changes in the schedule will be posted on the Home Page of the FHA Website, https://www.fearringtonfha.org/index.php

Please direct questions to Director of Facilities, facilities@fhaboard.org

The Spring Reminders bulletin is out with important information about the Wednesday Meet and Greets at the Grove at the end of Weathersfield.  These weekly meet-ups, a cherished Weathersfield tradition, begin again Wednesday, March 24, starting at 5:00 p.m.  

If you are new to Weathersfield in the past year, you will want to read how we make the gatherings a success.  And, everyone needs to read about the new COVID guidelines for safe gatherings in Spring Reminders.

For many years, a much-anticipated event has been the annual WEATHERSFIELD SPRING FLING where the community gathers in The Grove in late April or early May to share favorite appetizers or desserts, socialize with friends and neighbors before the buggy season sets in, and introduce newcomers to our community.  Residents have invited friends, and, in some instances, those same friends have later moved to Weathersfield and looked forward to this yearly event.  Sadly, COVID 19 put the kibosh on last year’s “Fling”, and it seems unwise to plan the event for this year as well even though many in our community have been fortunate in getting the vaccine.  The “Fling” would still involve the sharing of food and drink and close contact in a rather large group.

These have been very isolating times to which all of us can attest.  Some folks who have moved to Weathersfield in the past two years have yet to experience the “Fling” and this is disheartening.  Those of us who have lived here for a while pride ourselves on the well-deserved reputation for friendliness and hospitality that our community has earned.  With this in mind, please reach out to one another (especially newcomers who have arrived during the past two years) and say that brighter days are ahead, and a SPRING FLING will likely be on the schedule for 2022.

Note: While this is not a WSG Board-sponsored event, an enthusiastic, energetic committee forms each year to plan for this gathering in The Grove. An invitation will go out next Spring asking if you would like to be involved.

Ruppert will be picking up Christmas trees for recycling on Wednesday, January 6 and Thursday and Friday, January 14 and 15. Trees should be placed at the entrance to the close on one of the three mornings (or the evening before) and may be placed in a paper (not plastic) leaf bag or left unbagged.
